Hydrocodones or oxycodones? Because the difference there is vast. Honestly, that particular detail wasn't one I was focused on, so could have been either. Even if the difference is vast, it's tough to imagine any prescription painkiller that it's OK to take 10 of... Oh agreed, I'm just trying to figure out HOW negligent this psycho was.

Holy crap! A handle, at least where I'm from, is 1.5L! If my friends and I are drinking for a while we can drink a lot, but not 3L worth between two people even if we're drinking all day!
We did a girls day/night of staying in and three of us went through half a handle and we did have some shots not from that bottle.

I bet the boy had been getting pills and drugs for long enough that he had high tolerance, and the mom just thought that level of tolerance was normal. I suspect you're right, but Holy Guacamole! An entire bottle of hard liquor per person plus 10 oxycodones?!? That's a high tolerance even for an adult.
Sadly, that's where I'm at about now. When I overdo now, it takes 4 oxy to beat back the pain, but fortunately I very rarely get to this point (once/mo is a lot). After surgery, I was taking 90 mg of Oxycontin and 24 oxycodones/day (which is over 200 mg), and I was taking this dose for about 2 months after each surgery (4 surgeries that year) before the pain started to abate. This was a phenomenal opportunity to become dependent upon them, but nothing. Nary a withdrawal symptom one when I started tapering off either.
