Comments on: Codeine http://www.sumption.org/2004/04/30/codeine/ A small selection of the many things that have happened to Dan Sumption, his family, friends and colleagues Fri, 5 Dec 2008 00:49:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Dan http://www.sumption.org/2004/04/30/codeine/#comment-292 Dan Thu, 23 Feb 2006 18:10:49 +0000 http://www.sumption.org/wordpress/?p=819#comment-292 Hi Lucas, Your own experience isn't called "not being a lightweight" but is called "being an addict". I used to be able to drink five bottles of wine in the evening plus cocktails and not be unduly bothered by it. It's because I did it a lot, not because I was some kind of alcohol superhero. Adaptation is a natural side-effect of regularly taking a drug, not a badge of honour. Mind you, I can understand why you might want to take five codeine before going to school. Hi Lucas,
