The answer to the clue "Word after party or prescription" in the NYT Mini Crossword puzzle of October 17 is "DRUG". A medical professional prescribes prescription drugs to treat illness, while party drugs are often illegal and used recreationally.
The instructions portion of the clue was the biggest giveaway and immediately sent me in the right direction, although it helped that I had already added the name of The Little Mermaid, making it clear that the word I needed had an "R" as the second letter. I give this clue a rating of one out of five.
