While I love the Internet and all sorts of modern life fixtures (in a developed country), I feel a bit like I missed out by not being alive when all the crazy drinks were around.

Boy have I got news for you about the availability of drugs in modern days

[bombcar]

The thing is the drugs are known to be drugs. Back then "patent medicine" could be whiskey, could be Dr Pepper, could be cocaine.

Or Arsenic - it really cures what ails you - you won't be bothered by whatever it was you were complaining about before.

Probably best to have missed out on radium water.

You can still get your Radium Spa treatment in the Czech Republic: https://www.axxoshotels.com/radium-palace-spa

Cocaine is still readily available.

Pour yourself a nice glass of wine with some coke on the side?

[lotsofpulp]

Unadulterated cocaine is not readily available to 99% of people. Who wants to risk getting some fentanyl or whatever else as a layperson wanting to try it?

But from reputable sources

[sincerely]

This comment seems addressed to the portion of the population that both doesn’t know how to safely buy illegal drugs and also is able to determine which drug sellers are reputable. i can only assume this is an extremely small amount of people

[Scoundreller]

I get concerned when a product’s reviews are all: “received and looks good, will update review when I try it”

I can only assume they all died.
