Are you Italian? I was shocked, about 15 years ago when some Italian friends (who were very drug familiar) said how much they liked that they could buy Benadryl (diphenhydramine) w/o a prescription here in the USA. I was like "????*" this is not a party drug. (note: there are folks who use it in massive overdoses as an ACh deliriant [1] but that's not my cup of tea) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deliriant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deliriant
