Justin Bieber Caught Sipping Sizzurp?

Pop star Jusitn Bieber spotted drinking from a double syrofoam cup at night club in Atlanta.

Justin Bieber was spotted drinking from a Styrofoam cup, did it contain cough syrup cocktail 'sizzurp'?

As Bieber (no doubt) swaggered in to a nightclub in Atlanta (along with his homeboys, yo, wuddup) he was seen to be drinking from a styrofoam cup, which is associated with a type of drink called ‘sizzurp’ or ‘purple drank’. Of course the contents is pure speculation, though TMZ and others have pointed towards the possibility of Sizzurp. The drink includes a shot of prescription strength cough syrup mixed with either Sprite or Mountain Dew along with Jolly Rancher hard fruit candy thrown in to sweeten the bizarre cocktail. The cough syrup used as one of the ingredients typically contains codeine and promethazine and triggers mild euphoria as well as general motor-skill impairment along with drowsiness and lethargy. Sounds like a drink to really get the party started (NAAAT).

The drink supposedly originated back on the jazz scene in the 1960’s, although we have a sneaky suspicion that the term ‘sizzurp’ was coined a little later on. Purple drank is supposedly most often used in combination with a mixture of other drugs and alcohol. This sounds sensible, because downing medical strength cough syrup didn’t sound dangerous enough without adding a few illegal drugs into the mix.
