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?

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!
