Question
hi sir,
I heard that when one drug is dissolved in coke, then it produces alcoholic or sedative effect. Can you please tell me what is that drug?

Answer
Hi Parvez,
Any sedative if dissolved in coke will produce sedative effects. The rumor was about aspirin, it was said that if you dissolve aspirin in coke you get a tremendous kick, that is not true. I have tried it. There is no non sedative drug that interacts with coke (I mean coca cola) to produce a sedative effect.
