You probably have bronchitis.
You DID say that outloud!
My smarmy nephew swallowed a whole nutmeg in hopes of a really good trip. Guess how it came out. hehehehe
I “know someone” who tried this 25 years ago. Blechy. Major dehydration and ill feeling. More like poisoning.
Or the scene in “Stripes” where Bill Murray says, “...it’s not the speed really so much, I just wish I hadn’t drunk all that cough syrup this morning.”
They must be downing it by the truckload
The usual recreational dose of DXM is about 100 mg. That is a lot of syrup! There is a danger of ODing on the other components in the stuff.
This is news? Twenty years ago, while doing research for a speach on drunk driving, I found a case out of Alaska where a man was convicted of driving while drunk do to ingestion of Nyquil.
This report is only about 50 years too late. In the 60s the FDA made codeine cough syrup prescription only. Codeine abusers changed to Robitussin cough syrup at that time. Drug stores in the New Town area of Chicago required a signature purchasers and restricted them to two bottles of cough syrup per day.
I had to show my ID when I bought Alka-Seltzer Plus Cough & Cold this morning. I'm 41 so I really didn't have to produce it, but the self-checkout unit prompted me to show it.
Not new. Terpin hydrate - GI gin. And if it came with codeine...
That's a great way to phrase it. LOL!
Who knows? I might run out of beer or something.
