Drones are a common defence against all small ships, interceptors included. The Minmatar [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Warrior_II Warrior II] light drones are the nimblest and fastest drones, often matching interceptor speeds, and so are the most common choice.

Since the release of the Kronos patch, and the rebalance of drones, Acolytes have become a threat to tackle frigates as they are often shield fit and lacks resistance for EM. Acolytes are almost as fast as Warriors.

However, interceptors go so very fast that even ~~Warriors~~ are likely to still spend time fruitlessly chasing them around. Furthermore, it is possible to tank an interceptor against drones so that it can soak up a lot of fire from Warriors.

Inty pilots can also fit weapons specifically to shoot drones. The smallest, fastest-tracking turrets, combined with the tracking bonuses that several fleet inties get, perform quite well against drones.
