    Life + death = mortality  
is pretty good IMO, it is a nice blend of the concepts in an intuitive manner. I don’t really get

   drug + time = occasion
But

   drug - time = narcotic
Is kind of interesting; one definition of narcotic is

> a drug (such as opium or morphine) that in moderate doses dulls the senses, relieves pain, and induces profound sleep but in excessive doses causes stupor, coma, or convulsions

So we can see some element of losing time in that type of drug. I guess? Maybe I’m anthropomorphizing a bit.
