Various drugs can affect homeostasis. For example extasy can mess up the hormone that tells your kidneys how much water you need (ADH). So your body keeps absorbing more and more water and if you don't get rid of the water it can cause your brain to swell and you to dye after experiencing a lot of pain.

What can happen to ceels if homeostasis is disrupted?

Homeostasis is the keeping of the environment inside the cell constant. If that's disrupted, the cell will usually die. At least, it will stop functioning normally. If it's a muscle cell, for example, it may contract without a neuron firing to "tell" it to (cramp), or fail to contract when the neuron does fire (fatigue).
