A mixture of codeine cough syrup with alcohol and/or a soft drink known as "purple drank" has gained media attention in recent years as a drug associated with professional athletes and southern rap music. The existing research on purple drank consumption has primarily utilized samples of African Americans residing in the Houston, Texas area. This is the first scholarly study of purple drank use outside of the Houston, Texas area among a general population of young adults, and indicates that purple drank use is not limited to African American males. The findings depict higher odds of the use of purple drank among other racial and ethnic groups, males, and homosexual, bisexual, and transgender college students from urban areas.
近年来，一种含有可待因止咳糖浆、酒精和/或软饮料的混合物，被称为“紫色饮料”，因其与职业运动员和南方说唱音乐有关而受到媒体关注。现有的关于紫色饮料消费的研究主要利用了居住在德克萨斯州休斯顿地区的非裔美国人样本。这是在休斯顿德克萨斯州以外的地区，针对一般年轻成年人进行的第一项关于紫色饮料使用情况的学术研究，表明紫色饮料的使用并不仅限于非裔美国男性。研究结果表明，在来自城市地区的其他种族和族裔群体、男性以及同性恋、双性恋和跨性别大学生中，使用紫色饮料的可能性更高。
