What are the various uses of Alka Seltzer?

I work in a convenience store and there are many young men coming in to buy Alka Seltzers. I asked one young man what did he use them for. He never answered. Could they be using it to make drugs?

Answer:
There are a variety of Alka Seltzer products for different symptoms.
Alka Seltzer Original or Lemom -Lime flavor for acid indigestion and pain
Alka Seltzter Extra Strenght is still gentle but provides added power to ease heartbum , indigestion and pain
Alka Seltzer Gold for sensitive stomach
I hope this will help you
Alka selzter is mostly sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) with some aspirin and citric acid too. I doubt it can be made into any type of illegal drug, but I suppose I could be wrong, Drug addicts get more creative everyday!
The sodium bicarbonate functions as an antacid and can help calm an upset stomach. The aspirin is a mild analgesic and anticoagulant.

Young men buying this repeatedly. If they were kids, they're probably feeding them to seagulls to watch their stomachs explode. If they're high-school aged or older, they're probably using it to treat the symptoms of a hangover.
