Quote From: ladynoogs45744I'm surprised so many people are surprised to find out kids do this... it ISNT NEW.. its been going on for DECADES... i knew kids who were "drinking" nyquil and cough syrup and mouthwash in 1990, when i was in middle school... and the parents medicince cabinet... thats always happened too, i was guilty of it as a teen (but luckily i never got hooked). remember Whipites? they were the old fashioned versin of "dusting" (sucking the chemical stuff out of aerosol cans). With dusting its "just air" so kids think its safe, but it's fatal. These "tricks" are not new.. they have just evolved with new names and some new products.
I'm still glad DR phil is doing this show, I know there must be TONS of naive parents out there, and i'm gonna watch it, if i'm not busy, just to see if they're something i've never heard of.
LOL..I just posted and said my sister was drinking alcohol...that should have said cough syrup...oh boy! I need some more coffee...this is how the post should've read..
my sister was drinking cough syrup to get high in the 80's...this ain't nothin' new folks...
