Why does cough syrup make you sleepy and not drunk?

I bought a cough syrup that said NO alcohol, but why did make me very very drunk?

  • robitussin DM-non alcohol

  • Answer:

    First of all, how much did you drink? One spoonful is OK, don't forget it's medidcine. Even if it had alcohol, the right dosage wouldn't make you drunk. Second, did it have codeine? That's a substance that could have similar effects with alcohol or drugs in big quantities, and you'd better not have it, because it's addictive
