Was Bud taking Codeine with beer?


I could have sworn he washed down a Codeine pill with beer.

Not smart!

I don't think anyone in Urban Cowboy drank anything but beer. Didn't they also have it for breakfast? Narcotics with alcohol is a wild ride!!!




I'd like everybody's attention. Christmas is cancelled.

It's profoundly stupid.

Things were different in those days! My friends and I used to drink beer after taking a Quaalude!

Wes was partial to tequila.

Codeine with beer sounds like a redneck prenatal vitamin.

10 came out around that time and had a famous scene with Dudley Moore downing painkillers with alcohol (after dental work). The cops later say the two don't mix, but he replies "Could've fooled me!"

I can remember a time when we would get tanked on our lunch hour and return to work and finish the day.

The good old days..........if it happened now, not only would I lose my job but my career as well.

In Texas, people drove their cars holding an opened bottle of beer and drank from it. I did this.

Taking painkillers with booze is like playing Russian Roulette: sooner or later, you'll wake up dead.

And they still sell singles at the gas stations, even though there is an open-container law in Texas. What are people doing with those singles?

Man you'd have to take a lot more than a pill or 2 with a beer, one time, to die. I mean it could happen, but it would be a fluke. The people that die are the ones that get hooked over time, needing more and more to get the same effect. Pretty soon you're up to 20 pills a day for months on end. Then, yeah, add in a few beers or drinks and you're at death's doorstep.
