drop table and references

I have a big doubt. If I drop a table with a primary key to which other tables reference to, what happens? And If I create the table again, just as it was, but maybe with another column?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! If the primary key of that table is foreign key for other tables they have nothing to refer to. It would be like stripping surnames from people in a large city.

If you recreate the table the constraints are not recreated, you'd have to use ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT to make them again.

I was talking about tables with primary keys to which foreign keys of other tables are referenced to. Any way the primary key has to be recreated, because the column was of type SERIAL. I'm I right?
