I might as well just be buying crack (or meth or whatever the heck it is you make with Advil)

I wasn't feeling good all weekend, so I figured I'd better hedge my bets and get some non-drowsy cold medicine in case I'm still not feeling great on Monday. For some reason, Advil Cold and Sinus is the only cold medicine that doesn't send me into outer space (Tylenol Cold renders me useless for the entire time it's in my system).

The process went like this:

Went to the isle in the drug store and retrieved a slip of paper to bring to the pharmacist (who fortunately was on duty since it's not 24 hours there).
Gave her a copy of my drivers license. Waited while she inputed the information into her computer.
Waited for her to retrieve the medicine from the back room.
Filled out a form including, name, address, phone, etc.
Paid for the Advil.

All this because apparently; mix up some advil, draino (which they leave right out there on the shelf for the grabbing!) and assorted other objects and, Bingo!, you get meth. I've never tried meth, but I have a feeling that these days it's probably easier to find than Advil!
