   Actoally in my youth far away and long ago I did drink 151 Proof Rum.   
   The point was to get intoxicated ASAP.  I gave it up though when it   
   tended to give me a sore throat.  Same reason I quit smoking cannabis   
   or even vaping it.   
   	Nothing but edibles now which I treat as medications.   
   	I have if I haven't given it away 91% ethyl alcohol though I   
   got it for extractions and have not drunk any of it to the best   
   of my recollection.  Also since the 1984 or there abouts I have   
   stopped doing extractions.   
   	Generally I agree with you on the medication aspect and it   
   should include raw opium and coca leaf tea.  Maybe opium poppy seedpod   
   tea.  Coca-Cola should return fresh coca leave to the drink mix.  Of   
   course I am prejudiced against caffiene since I am highly sensitive to   
   its effects.
