As a child
3 seperate times I drank a whole bottle of Calpol. After the 3rd My parents were completely disniterested.
I have been totally hard and cool at 15/16 smoking weed, which just made me feel paranoid and fidgety. Peer pressure....
I was unfortunately and stupidly, I now know, addicted to 'speed' although at the time I didn't realise it. After nearly 2 weeks of not being able to poo, taking 6 laxatives the night beafore then sitting on the toilet straining so hard I nearly pass out and throwing up because nothing is coming out my poop chute, I still carried on taking it.
I tried Ketamine once with my boss (working in a restaurant is just a hive of sex, drugs and more sex) we are sitting on his couch, he tells me he loves me I tell him I love him and then realise the couch is eating me.
So the moral of the rather disjointed story....some drugs are bad and make you seriously constipated, some make couches eat you but Calpol is fucking aces.

But isn't Calpol just Paracetamol
suspended in a sweet pink solution? I love the taste, as does my son, but does it have other chemical properties that pleasure?

*shrugs*
I was 5. My Mum would always give me a spoon before bed to help me sleep (yes my parents were a bit lackadaisical in my upbringing), but I always wanted MORE. Maybe it had traces of crack in it? Maybe I was just a fat bastard who wanted the sweet stuff? Who knows it was some good shit.

Anecdotally
Mums are always joking about dosing their kids up on Calpol to get them to sleep. Maybe it's just the absence of discomfort that seems like a groovy high to a tot or maybe it's got something else in it as well. I'm going to have a look at a bottle after work!
