Default How do you swallow your tablets?
Do you take your paracetamol, olanzapine, gabapentin and antihistamines (or whatever it is you might take) with water or another kind of drink?

I never used to have a drink when taking tablets - a left over habit from days of illicit substances in rave clubs that used to switch the water off so people had to buy the extortionate priced water bottles. However, I mentioned this to my doctor once (not the club bit, just that I just swallow tablets dry) and she said its actually really bad for you as it can get stuck and dissolve at in the wrong place and cause corrosion in your gullet. Now I drink a bit of water with them

I’m less concerned about what people use to wash them down, than I am with the weirdos that take tablets dry

You can easily order it off Amazon. Especially if you’re the type of person who’s attracted to American novelties.

Certain poll options are bound to be a little tongue-in-cheek/exaggerated when they come from me. That’s how I bring a vein of humour into the seriousness of whatever it is I might be otherwise saying. You’re not supposed to analyse them for British realism with a fine-tooth comb.
