A, B, C, D, E...E...E...

Brian 经常吃的那个E：

他第一次见到Justin那天，去医院看新生儿Gus，回来的路上Brian抱着Justin就象喝醉了一样。 Michael问他吃了什么，Brian对Justin傻笑：“ A, B, C, D, E...E...E...”

第二季开始，Justin受伤后，Brian在Babylon backroom瞎混，问谁有E，很多人伸过手来递给他。

Lindsay游说父母支付她和Melanie的婚礼，开了个party，但是父母不赏脸没来。为了搅出气氛，Brian在众人喝的饮料大盆punch bowl里放了E，于是party就热开了锅。

这个E到底是个啥？我查了一下：

Ecstasy: (also known as E, X, XTC, Adam, or Essence)

QAFolk: What Stuart (UK-QAF) and Brian (NA-QAF) thought they were taking before they ended up redecorating their apartment (first episode).

What: MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine); a white powder usually seen in pill form; usually swallowed, but can be snorted, smoked or injected as well; its analog MDA was first synethsized in 1917 as an appetite suppressant.

How Long: If eaten, the effects will manifest themselves in about 45 minutes and physical effects last about 6-8 hours while mental effects last longer trailing off over a period of 1-2 days; snorting, smoking or injecting it produce much more rapid effects but the duration of the effects is reduced and the intensity of the mental effects will not be much greater than if swallowed.

Effects: Physical effects may include euphoria, hyperexcitability, extreme nervousness, accelerated heartbeat, sweating, dizziness, restlessness, insomnia, tooth grinding, and incessant talking. Mental effects vary more, and may include a generalized feeling that all is right and good with the world and that common everyday things may seem to be abnormally beautiful or interesting (entactogenesis), a feeling of emotional closeness to others coupled with a breakdown of personal communication barriers (empathogenesis; the "hug drug"), and an enhancement or distortion or all senses Ecstasy typically does not cause hallucinations.

Risks: People with a history of high blood pressure, heart trouble, stroke or hypersensitivity to drugs should not use Ecstasy. It should never be combined with Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) (usually found in prescribed antidepressants, but if you are taking ANY prescription medication you should first check the label or ask a doctor or pharmacist to see if it is a MAOI. Also be aware that some antidepressants (most notably Prozac and Zoloft) can inhibit some of the effects of Ecstacy.

Water absorption by cells in the body together with dancing for long periods in a hot club can quickly lead to dehydration and heat stroke, a cause of some reported deaths. Therefore it is always important to have enough water or juice on hand; note as well that there have also been reported deaths from individuals who went overboard and drank TOO much water too fast.

One of the biggest risks of Ecstasy is that lesser-quality brands often mix it in other substances, some more dangerous than ecstasy itself. Known additives include amphetamines (ie. speed), LSD (acid), PMA, dextramethorphan (a cough suppressant), caffeine, ephedrine (herbal E), ketamine (see below), and aspirin.

Addiction: Ecstasy itself is not physically addictive, but as with all drugs can become an important part of some people's lives and can be abused. Mental effects will start to fade with repeated use and can only be fully brought back by ceasing intake of the drug for a period of time - usually about a week.
