You act like Gen X'ers did not pop pills. [/quote]

We drank cough syrup with codeine  :twisted: [/quote]

we sure did[/quote]

Somehow I had the impression this was just something a group of idiot boys in my high school had come up with on their own. Color me surprised to discover it was an actual thing!

Although I think they were just drinking entire bottles of over-the-counter Robitussin, not the good stuff with the codeine.[/quote]

How old are you cough syrup folks?  Younger GenX?  I don't remember cough syrup being a thing and I graduated HS in 1991.  We had plenty of booze, pot, and other drugs...but not cough syrup[/quote]

PP here: I graduated in '90. I went to high school in a smallish city in the South, so maybe we just didn't have the same options as big-city kids did? But I'd just always assumed it was limited to that one group of morons who either decided drinking alone wasn't doing it for them anymore, or just figured it was easier to get a case of generic robitussin from Wal-Mart than to find someone to buy them beer.[/quote]
