I know plenty of non-graduates that are capable of reading the label on a bottle of medicine before downing half the bottle.

Most of these non-graduates are children

I think most anyone of breathing age would know that you’re not supposed to take a half a bottle of anything even remotely resembling medicine. This person may be accidentally or subconsciously suicidally stupid.

"I went to the medicine cabinet" "this is a drug??" I don't wanna go full chemistry class on ya talking about how sugars a fucking drug but there's strictest definitions everyone adheres to. & by those super strict thoughts that is indeed the intent to find a drug. There's no not knowing tf you been doing.

Apparently not. I thought it was just like weed and coke?

All medicines are drugs. Drugs are substances that change how our bodies work, potentially including our minds. Some are pretty safe and legal, some are extremely dangerous and illegal. But pretty much any drug can be harmful or even lethal in large enough doses. There's plenty of completely legal medicinal drugs you can buy over the counter and keep in a medicine cabinet that could kill you or cause permanent damage in the kind of amounts of Benadryl you seem to have taken.

Consider yourself lucky that you seem to have come out of this incident fine, and in future please read the label, good god, or you'll be explaining at the pearly gates that your headache was too bad to check the instructions.
