I hate to tell you all this but you could drink cups of visene with no nasty side effects other than a tummy ache. It is a myth to keep waitresses sane. When they have a nasty customer they will sprinkle some on their food. It is a complete and utter myth spread by people higher in the house to keep Miss Sally from bashing the ahole in the head with a coffee cup.
Now you know.

You are an ignorant fool! Tetrahydrozoline ingestion is extremely serious. Any waiter, waitress or restaurant staff caught doing this could easily spend years behind bars even if the customer just ended up with a “tummy ache”. Its called poisoning people and the authorities consider it a serious crime. I know... I worked with the police on a daily basis for 25 years.
Now the antifreeze in the sweet tea, however,....
Tetrahydrozoline is also available as a decongestant nasal spray by prescription. It can cause certain drug interactions and result in very high blood pressure and fast heart rates. It can be very toxic in certain patients.
