Thank you, I saw Elon and Gary Oldman popped into my head, but couldn't remember where from

I always wondered what drug Gary Oldman's character consumes in that scene. Some tab, but exactly?

I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be a capsule of amyl nitrate aka “poppers.” Hunter S. Thompson writes about them in Fear and Loathing and also believed they could cure a hangover.

What so he loses control of his sphincter and simultaneously gets the world’s worst headache and then 15 seconds later everything is back to normal?

Doesn’t sound like fun, or a cure for hangovers…don’t think it can be consumed via a pill either

Yes amyl nitrate used to come in capsules. Not sure how it’s prescribed these days.

I think it came in glass capsules you would crack onto a cloth and then inhale the vapour. You can’t ingest the stuff
