Not high, but OD’d on cough syrup back in the day when I was sick and ended up deleting an incredibly important field in a prod database.

Too much Robitussin will get you a similar feeling as being drunk. It was not purposely done in my case. I was simply very, very sick, and stuck at work and the cough syrup was the only thing keeping me going, so I drank almost a bottle in a day.

wow dude, It sounds like next time you might be better off taking the more direct approach and just coughing in your managers face, if he doesnt send you home, there is something wrong like, worringly wrong with him.

Lol. No manager. I was working for myself at the time, hence the insane stubbornness.
