   Ceremonial Chemicals
  
      Most hackers don't smoke tobacco, and use alcohol in moderation if at
   all.   However, there has been something of a trend towards exotic beers
   since about 1995, especially among younger Linux hackers apparently
   influenced by Linus Torvalds's fondness for Guiness.
  
      Limited use of non-addictive psychedelic drugs, such as cannabis,
   LSD, psilocybin, nitrous oxide, etc., used to be relatively common and
   is still regarded with more tolerance than in the mainstream culture.
   Use of `downers' and opiates, on the other hand, appears to be
   particularly rare; hackers seem in general to dislike drugs that make
   them stupid.   On the third hand, many hackers regularly wire up on
   caffeine and/or sugar for all-night hacking runs.
  
  

From The Elements (22Oct97) [elements]:
   chromium

   Hard silvery transition element. Used in decorative electroplating.
