It's not actually a bong, it's a hookah. Flavored tobacco known as shisha is smoked out of them.

Did Jabba the Hutt smoke a bong on Episode 6?

Technically it's called a hookah which takes liquid spice and vaporizes allowing Jabba to smoke it from his pipe. Spice is a drug in the Star Wars universe so it is very similar to a bong.

Is it true the Alice in Wonderland characters are all on a different drug?

There is no evidence to suggest that Alice in Wonderlandis either about or influenced by narcotics.The story was originally made up by Lewis Carroll, who was a very respectable Oxford Don and Anglican Deacon, to entertain three little girls on a rowing trip. There is no evidence that he ever took drugs, or even that he was interested in them. Carroll kept extensive diaries and wrote huge numbers of letters (which he took the trouble to catalogue) and no mention is made of drugs anywhere in his writngs. Quite a lot is known about his life and he was a very busy person who was unlikely to have had either the time or the inclination to experiment with narcotics.It wasn't until a century after the book was written that the idea that there may be some connection with drugs started. Members of the drug taking counter culture of the nineteen-sixties noticed similarities between the hallucinogenic effects of narcotics such as LSD and the strange events in the book Alice in Wonderland, such as Alice's changes in size, and embraced the book as representing a drug taking experience. Jefferson Airplane's song White Rabbit immortalised this idea and some people have associated Alice in Wonderland with drug taking ever since.What people tend to overlook is that drugs are not the only source of hallucinogenic effects, and the illusion of things stretching and shrinking can also be caused by neurological imbalances (which Carroll may have suffered from.) Of course the idea of a person changing sizes could also simply be created by the imagination.Other than her changes in size, the key moment in the book that people claim is representative of drug taking is Alice's encounter with the Caterpillar. When she meets him, he is sitting on a mushroom, smoking a hookah. It is not impossible that this is a reference to drugs, but it is equally possible that it isn't. The mushroom is a common motif in fairy stories and it is more likely that this is the reason for its presence than because Carroll is alluding to the hallucinogenic effects of magic mushrooms. It is also possible that the Caterpillar is smoking opium or marijuana in his hookah, but it is just as likely that he is smoking tobacco. However, the fact that the mushroom and the hookah appear together will forever represent proof of a reference to drug taking in the minds of some readers.If we choose to accept the hypothesis that the Caterpillar is either consuming or representative of drugs, this of course doesn't mean that Carroll is condoning drug use or that Alice in Wonderland is about drugs. Madness is a theme which runs throughout the book and Alice encounters numerous characters who are all "mad" for whatever reason. It is frequently suggested that the Hatter is mad as a result of mercury poisonong and it is generally believed that hares are mad in March because of excessive friskiness during the mating season - however, nobody ever suggests that Alice in Wonderland is about mercury poisoning (or friskiness for that matter.) The Caterpillar is just one of the mad people that Alice meets on her journey and he is not a pleasant character. There is no suggestion that he is someone we would wish to emulate. Therefore, if his madness is caused by the consumption of drugs, we can assume that this is not something Carroll is attempting to promote (any more than he is attempting to promote mercury poisoning.)It is generally believed by critics and people who have studied Lewis Carroll, that Alice in Wonderland is NOT about drugs. Those who seek to enjoy or promote recrational drug use frequently claim that it is.To add on to MisoSoup's answer, Alice in Wonderland is thought to actually be about math. The author was a mathematician, and there were some kinds of new math theories. He didn't like them, so he wrote a book where he applied the the theories. You'll notice that Alice really did not like it.
