Though correctly remembered as one of the weaker TNG episodes, Naked Now certainly has its guilty pleasures.
It is a virtual remake of Naked Time. The crew is once again effected by "something" that causes the mind to behave as if under the influence of alcohol. It was the 80s, though, and TV had broken free from many of the restrictions of 60s programming standards. While the original Naked story hinted at sex, this one took full advantage. Practically the whole crew thinks about getting laid. It could have been daring, but really ended up kind of silly.
Wesley, being obsessed with science rather than females, turns into Kevin Riley with a Charlie Evans attitude. Dangers pile up from outside and inside the ship but the whole story is strangely without tension.
Still, it gives us some peeks into the psyches of our main characters. Picard and Dr. Crusher like each other and they've been suppressing their sexual tension. Ditto for Riker and Troi. Data wants to be human. Yar is secretly very horny. Geordie wants to see beauty instead of energy fields. Wesley wants to be treated like an adult. Worf doesn't get infected. He just stays gruff. I kind of felt the same way.
A disappointing story, but not a complete loss.
(Personally, I recall giving up on the show somewhere early in the second season. My younger brother told me was getting better, so I gave it another try. I hope my memory is correct in that it does get better.)

Okay, but Data's brain is positronic. None of the ship is. And that positronic thing seems to be why they claimed it could somehow affect him/it, and because of... hydraulic fluids like blood or something. It was crap.

What is interesting and perhaps relevant is that Data was the only one stumbling. It was as if his positronic brain detected an alcohol type substance in his system and decided that this is how I should now act.
He later, without cogent explanation, deftly reintegrated the chips into the system. Perhaps his brain was able to reprogram itself.

@Revengine wrote; I was trying to get at that point as well when I asked why the infection didn't affect the Enterprise's computer as well because I agree, Data being affected at all was pretty weak.
Because the Enterprise had an anti virus program

Ha ha. But of course, so did Data. That's why he shut off/came back on automatically a couple times during the series.

It would have been fun to see that Yar would f@ck the hell out of Data so much so that he overloads with smoke coming from his ears

Well, the smoke wouldn't be coming from his ears.
Plus, Data can probably just... secrete... some lube whenever he needs it.

Now if they had shown that the show wouldn't be fit for children to watch now would it

No amount of lube would be enough to cope with Yar's sexual endurance she would tear him apart.

I guess she really needed Worf, then.

I think Worf is just bragging and was having "problems"I guess the Klingon version of Viagra wasn't invented yet.

I don't know, Data is a sex machine, like literally a machine. Not sure he'd be the one getting worn out. But, it does make you wonder what Yar really meant when she said to him at the end of the episode "It never happened."

She is slightly embarassed because of all the crazy shit they did,my guess is Data turned off the grav. plating and did Yar in all kinds of way humanly impossible.

Nex, you know I consider you my best friend here and I mean you no offense. However, I think you meant "embarrassed", not "embraced".

No prob. I really wish I spoke your first language so you could correct me like that.
