Read the book. It's based on the author's real life experiences as a cop who
catches (several) habits. The "blue ringers" are Lotusates. I can't recall the
correct spelling now and my older refs don't include it, but I believe it's a
barbituate as you say (the effects portrayed in the movie then, are
inaccurate). I'll check a PDR tomorrow.
   AS for the Kool-Aid, it had nothing to due with the ludes they were
discussing...

Great flick. I just wish they'd done the sex scene with luscious Jennifer
Jason Leigh a bit truer to the book. The scene as described in the book (where
the hooked heat shoot preludin and have rough, degrading sex) is hot enough to
have gotten me tempted......
