(515 posts)I watched her on food network and she was entertaining and funny.
I was really bummed when Bourdain took his life. I havent watched CNN since that. It was the only thing worth watching.
Is there something about the restaurant world that causes this sort of depression? Or am I just looking at a small sample?

(52,558 posts)She may not have realized Adderall (amphetamine), Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Zyrtec (cetirizine) are three meds that you absolutely cannot drink if youre taking them. Since both the antihistamines are OTC and way too many people think OTC meds are completely safe in all circumstances this makes it worse.
I have said for a while the most dangerous drug is Tylenol because (1) it doesnt take too much of an OD to catalyze the irreversible destruction of your liver and (2) because they put that shit in everything its not hard to unintentionally take a lethal OD.
