What do humans who have been drinking and/or taking drugs actually taste like? Can you really get a second hand high/drink from them?

They taste tainted. No, that’s not quite it.

You know when you make a rum and coke and, if there’s a decent amount of rum, you can still taste the alcohol through the cola? It’s like that. It’s still blood but there’s a bit of an off taste to it, diluted but still noticeable.

And yes, we can get drunk if there’s enough of it in the blood. We can get high, too, depending on how the drug is metabolized and how stoned the person is. But like a human drinking rum, we have to drink enough of it to make a difference. A little drink from someone who’s only had one beer, for example, would do next to nothing.

How did we miss this movie??!! … called Total Eclipse, from 1995, w/ Leo diCaprio.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Eclipse_(film):

“Based on letters and poems, it presents a historically accurate account of the passionate and violent relationship between the two 19th century French poets Paul Verlaine (David Thewlis) and Arthur Rimbaud(Leonardo DiCaprio), at a time of soaring creativity for both of them.”
