replacement for alcohol is coffee after lots of drinking : )

I have never known anyone (myself included) who was ready to sit down and drink tons of coffee at 3am after some hard drinking for hours.

To this day, the only company authorized by law to refine cocaine in the USA (malincrodt i think) removes the cocaine from coca leaf extract and sends the decocainized extract to Coca cola for inclusion in its syrup.
