I suggest that we take an unscientific vote on this matter, then table the topic until there is some more definitive news, which may never come, but then again might.
The wisdom of crowds suggests that our completely biased and boneheaded attitudes and beliefs--contradictory as the stew of opinions here is--might well cancel each other out in such a way as to provide a valid collective answer.
Then we can come back in a year, decade, or whenever, and some can yell, "I told you so!" from their respective berths in the nursing home, before, that is, speedily reattaching the oxygen mask and HGH drip.
George, I think it depends on what "drugs" are.
I do:
lipitor
effexor
lexapro
aspirin and nsaids
the occasional modafanil
vicodin/percocets following tooth extraction, etc. (please note, neighborhood addicts: it's all gone now--no need to ransack my already ruined estate in pursuit to left over pulvules!)
Nyquil whenever I can get my hands on it
ambien
in the past:
spirited and hop-based beverages
the vapors that cannot be named (very rarely: made me exceedingly paranoid)
andogrel -- a testosterone replacement formulation you rub into your skin (did this for an article in Modern Maturity--had no effects that I could determine)
for another article (this one for GQ) I took several $100 worth of GNC OTC supplements, from creatine to whey protein to what the maker claimed were HGH precursors--these did have an effect, i.e., turning my urine into such a neon spectacular it was kind of like a Fourth of July extravaganza every time I relieved myself
in my younger years, there were all manner of inappropriately prescribed anti psychotics and the like.
so far, I haven't found anything, besides Jolt gum and Triberry Gu, that has helped my swimming at all!
