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.
