Random Beer Thoughts

Don't do drugs.

well, not heroin or codeine or anything but weed and shrooms, **** like that... don't be afraid, kids!

 

[2plums4one]

Prometh is not the same as Codeine, this is true. However, lean is a mixture of Sprite, Fanta or other soda mixed with syrup such as Actavis. Actavis and other such syrups are Promethazine with Codeine; they have both. Prometh is a cough suppressant, and obviously Codeine is a narcotic.

Don't do drugs.

umm alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs out there, but I won't get into that argument. How about, "only do the drugs the gov't says are ok to do ...with a prescription..."

 

[GuzzleMcBrew]

Ha, yeah my 'dont do drugs' was not meant to be preachy in any way. Just a non-disclosive disclaimer. I wont say any more than that

Wtf is lean?

ITs basically a mix of grape / orange soda, promethazine, codeine cough syrup, and sometimes other drugs / liquor. It became popular in rap songs in the early 2000s and is sold in a ghetto near you.

im just over here waiting for an ayahuasca fantome.

I think you can blend the Tonka Fantome and Sante 14 (?, always forget which one we thought was brewed with hemp / weed) to approximate an OG 4 Loko.

I'd totally drink an Ayahuasca Fantome by the way.

Purple drank is a slang term for a concoction which includes a prescription-strength cough syrup used in a manner inconsistent with its labeling as a recreational drug. The mixture became popular in the hip hop community in the southern United States, originating in Houston.[1]

The prescription-strength cough syrup used in purple drank contains codeine and promethazine (not to be confused withdextromethorphan; DXM).[2] The cough syrup, used in doses much higher than medically recommended, is typically mixed with ingredients such as the soft drinks Sprite or Mountain Dew and optionally "a Jolly Rancher hard fruit candy thrown in for extra sweetness."[1] The purplish hue of purple drank comes from dyes in the cough syrup. The amount of cough syrup used "can exceed up to 25 times the recommended dose."[3] The concoction is "Typically consumed out of Styrofoam cups".[3]

There are numerous slang terms for purple drank, including sizzurp,[4] lean,[5] syrup,[4] drank,[4]barre,[4] purple jelly,[4]Texas tea,[6] dirty Sprite,[7] and Tsikuni.[8]

History
According to Houston-based author Lance Scott Walker, purple drank developed in that city around the 1960s when blues musicians would take Robitussin and cut it with beer. Later when wine coolers came onto the market, they substituted for beer.[9] These blues musicians lived in Houston's Fifth Ward, Third Ward, and South Park neighborhoods and the practice was taken up by the generation of rappers growing up in the same parts of the city.[9] In the 1980s and 1990s the formula changed to using codeine promethazine cough syrup, lemon-lime flavored soda, and Jolly Ranchers.[9]

Professor Ronald Peters, also a Houston resident, points out that purple drank remained a local Houston phenomenon until the 1990s rapper DJ Screw released several tunes mentioning the drink in his mixtapes which were extremely popular in the Houston area.[9]

Walker holds that DJ Screw's music was particularly appropriate for Houston's climate. Due to the heat and expanse of the Houston area residents spent long drives in their cars, "the music that most appropriately complements that has always been the music of DJ Screw, it's slowed down - and when I say slowed down I mean he would record sessions in his apartment with rappers freestyling over beats and he would make these big mixtapes and then he would actually slow them down even further on his cassette recorder."[9] DJ Screw's invoking purple drank in his lyrics and his use of slow tempos, has caused his style to be characterized "As if the song itself has taken too much codeine promethazine".[9] Rappers outside of Houston soon adopted aspects of his style.[9]

Walker points out that purple drank had never been stigmatized in Houston, but with the apparently purple drank related early death of DJ Screw, the concoction became the focus of law enforcement in the Houston area with felony charges being applied for some aspects surrounding it.[9]

Popularization
Houston producer DJ Screw popularized the concoction, which is widely attributed as a source of inspiration for the "chopped and screwed" style of hip hop music.[12][13] The promethazine and codeine concoction first gained popularity in the underground rap scene in Houston,[13] where musician Big Hawk said it was consumed as early as the 1960s and 1970s, becoming more widely used in the early 1990s.[14] Because of usage by rap artists in Houston, it became more popular in the 1990s.[15] Its use later spread to other southern states.[12]

In June 2000, Three 6 Mafia's single "Sippin' on Some Syrup," featuring UGK, brought the term "purple drank" to a nationwide audience.[16]

In 2004, the University of Texas found that 8.3% of secondary school students in Texas had taken codeine syrup to get high.[12] The Drug Enforcement Administration reports "busts" involving syrup across the southern United States, particularly in Texas and Florida.[12]

As of 2011, the price of purple drank in Houston is twice the price as it is in Los Angeles.[15]

[sacrelicio]

promethazine =/= codeine cough syrup, but it is used to make the "lean"....don't ask how I know that. Just know I've never done the stuff (lean).

I Googled Actavis quick, seemed like the case.

Purple drank may have contributed to Jamarcus Russell becoming the biggest NFL draft bust of all time. Dude earned millions of dollars to get fat and drink sizzurp. Truly, the American Dream is still alive.

 

[GuzzleMcBrew]

Purple drank has this weird mystique around it because of the cultures it is represented in.
It's exactly like taking painkillers...because that's what it is. Just in soda form.

The promethazine's cough suppressant aspects allow one to smoke a lot of whatever and not have any throat irritation, which I guess has some luster to some people. On the whole it is just a different format for the same old drugs. Snorting lines of pills isn't something you can put into music videos that go on TV, but having a styrofoam double cup is.

I want to start a hip hop group called "Correct Spelling and The Grammar Gang"

 

[SirDickButts]

ive tried lean twice. first time was @ hooters several years ('02) ago.
we were sitting at the table and ordered a pitcher of beer, one of my friends ordered dr pepper.
my friend who ordered the soda, looked around, grinned...and pulled out an 4 and mixed it in with the dr pepper.
our waitress caught him. she asked "omg, what are you doing?!" he replied, "just making some sip real quick, want some?"
she took the first sip...then another sip afterwards a says, "wow, you guys are bad!" LOLOL. we laughed.
after that, we went over to chill @ some girls dorm room on TSU campus. all of those guys knocked out hardcore, snoring.

the second concoction i had was on a thursday night after work ('02 as well). when i worked at UPS, a group of us would either drink in the church parking lot down the street or the gas station after the last work day of the week. just straight up loitering. the lean concoction i tried that time was pretty damn tasty. it was mix of sprite, pineapple drink, vodka, cherry jolly ranchers and a 8th of lean in a styrofoam cup. i didn't get sleepy that time either.

looking back....that was ******* stupid.

Putting aside the stupid theme of the song and the slang none of us understand, I listened to more than 20 seconds and it's just a ****** song. The rhymes are weak, terrible rhythm, and the first idiot claims to be #1 on the rappers top 10. Lonely Island, 3 white SNL comedians, are better rappers than these idiots.
