Sobriety!
Joking aside, my grandmother was prescribed a glass of Guinness a day after
being in hospital. Also alcohol is used in tinctures to dissolve other drugs.
BTW Queen Victoria was prescribed tincture of cannabis, so there, we were
amused :)

If Asprin were not discovered till today, codeine would be over the
counter. Or we would have THC pain pills, or both.

You can have codeine containing drugs without any prescription, on the shelves.
You still have next to no chance of finding THC anywhere legaly.

Don't get me wrong, I love the taste of good beer. I've brewed my own in the
past. I'd rather do it in the comfort of a friends patio or home.

I drink 2-3 beers a week, corresponding to the 2-3 days I teach each
week. I find that after 7-8 hours on my feet in a classroom, that my
tired legs and complaining stomach just can't seem to make it past a
little establishment close to my apartment called 'Ryan's Pub.' There
is always an available table, I am served a cheeseburger done exactly
how I like it, from a waiting staff of unflaggingly pretty and friendly
young females. I tip them obscenely, they attend to me in kind. There
are a number of plasma screens with different sporting events, and it
seems an all-around happy way to relax and be fed.
I enjoy the beer as food, rather than inebriant. But I am unable to
describe the type of beer I like reliably. The descriptions of the
different brands on the menu have little association for me. I guess I
seek some sort of tradeoff between what I think of as a 'clean' taste,
and the amount of flavor. I want clean, not watery. Also I like a
flavour a bit like roasted oats? Not sure what I mean by that myself.
Anyway my current favourites are Stella Artois and Sapporo.

I only drink for medicinal reasons. And I've been feeling rather poorly
these past few years.

Well, by prescription, it's not hard to find. It treats Gloucoma

I was going to say - isn't codeine a common ingredient in cough syrup?

Depends on the country. Even codeine cough syrup is restricted drug in
America. Putting a tiny bit with tylenol/paracetamol suddenly makes is
illegal to possess without a prescription.

Cough syrup, some analgesic pills, some others...
I can have many at my local pharmacy.
