Of those, some sober up and others get back on their meds.

I'd be scared of that vamp's pointy nose.

I was wondering what the difference was between preternatural and supernatural and came up with this.  Preternatural describes something that is beyond what is expected or normal, while supernatural describes something that must be caused by a force that is beyond the natural.  I hope this helps to clarify the situation for others that were wondering the same thing.
