So we're not going to talk about the drugs that supposedly give you the strength to beat teams of Klingons and have no side effects?
I wonder if it is less that it gives you the strength, but more that it helps with pain blocking and reaction, but with the downside that you got to take it RIGHT before the fight, and that the aches and pains will still be there when it wears off. I don't recall them mentioning that it had no side effects, so I would imagine that the side effects weren't quite plot-relevant enough to devote time to, and were handled "off camera", so to speak.
They put it in there like it was no big deal though. It kind of sends the wrong message and makes you ask the question, "Why don't they just use it all the time?"
I can't imagine that's good for your physiology. Probably one of those things that will quickly kill you if you use it more than a few times.
Little known fact...The Boys share the same universe as Star Trek.
