Reading some of the opioid OD stories in the news that have details made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I thought I was always careful; never going more than double the dosage (usually only a dose and a half) and no more than 24 oz of 14% ABV convenience store rotgut "flavored malt beverage". I usually got the 8% ABV stuff if I had pain pills, but a couple of times I had done that one night and the high seemed pretty tame so I stepped it up the next time. Anyway, some people die at those levels. When I read about people in good physical shape dying when they had taken no more than I did, it shook me up pretty good.
