Anchor the rail with the Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt, the piece everything else answers to
Buyers who ask where to begin with That’s A Awful Lot Of Cough Syrup get sent to the Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt. The body runs 6.5 oz 100% organic cotton, a fair bit above the flimsy jersey the bulk of graphic tees are printed on, and the weight is obvious the moment you lift one. The silhouette is relaxed rather than slim, so it falls away from the shoulder instead of hugging the chest. The signature jumbo screen prints hit front and back, so the shirt reads from both directions when you walk past someone. The first thing seasoned buyers of alocs clothing look for on any piece that’s an awful lot of cough syrup is the yellow woven label stitched at the hem, that band of yellow. The brand’s own product copy says this style fits true to size, which matters more than it sounds, because not every tee here is cut the same way. The figure listed is about $150 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026, and because streetwear prices move constantly, treat that as a snapshot.
The graphic tees, called by their actual names
Graphic tees at that same core price make up most of the cough syrup shirts on offer, and the names are half the reason people collect them. The catalogue takes in the A.L.O.C.S. T-Shirt, the Warning T-Shirt, King Of The Kill, Drankenstein and Juicebusters, along with Big Pharma, Cough Syrup Scream, Paralysis, Rib Cage, ALOCS Smoke and the Cough Syrup Scary Movie T-Shirt. Keep scrolling and you hit Po Up, Rosary, Man Down, Death Row, Land Of the Sippers, The Last Pint, Love At First Sip, the Wok Is Dead T-Shirt, the Promethazine Tour T-Shirt and the Dodger T-shirt. A single spec sheet covers King Of The Kill, Drankenstein and Juicebusters: 100% cotton, jumbo screenprint hits front and back, the yellow woven label, and a fit the brand calls true to size. The Warning T-Shirt is a 100% organic cotton short sleeve that also runs true to size, with the brand noting that you should consider sizing up for an oversized look. Handmade in Los Angeles is how the Paralysis T-Shirt is described, with a stencil-style treatment and a rough print on a relaxed body. The phrase the brand is built from, which refers to promethazine-codeine cough syrup, known as lean, is what titles like Promethazine Tour and The Last Pint play on; the brand runs its own banner reading “! PLEASE DO NOT SIP DRANK AND SHOOT FIREARMS !” and then gets back to selling clothes.
The lightweight, cropped cuts sit in their own lane
The Wok Is Dead T-Shirt and the Promethazine Tour T-Shirt are two tees that behave differently enough to deserve their own paragraph. Lightweight cotton jersey in a wide-fit, cropped tee is the published description on both, the opposite of the heavy classic body in almost every respect. A rinse gives them a comfortable vintage feel, and the artwork comes as a water based screen print front and back rather than a thick plastic-feeling hit. These two styles are also the ones that publish flat measurements, rare enough here to be worth using: small is 20 inches by 17.5 inches, medium 21.5 by 19, large 23 by 20.5, taken as width by length. Because 20 inches wide by 17.5 long is short by ordinary standards, hold those against a tee you already own. For a relaxed fit the brand asks you to order one to two sizes bigger than your regular size, because it states outright that this style runs small. Price-wise nothing changes, about $150 at the brand’s own store as of September 2026.
Women’s cuts, and where the rail gets lighter
Not every piece with the logo on it costs what the flagship tee costs, and that surprises people who know the brand only from resale chatter. Roughly $48 to $100 is the band on the women’s side for the lighter pieces, which takes in crop tops, tank tops and bodysuits rather than the full heavyweight body. 100% combed cotton is what gets published for tanks and crop tops, a genuinely different fabric from the 6.5 oz organic cotton on the classic. Some tanks are printed with the Cough Syrup measuring line side print, a nod to a dosage line and one of the quieter graphics in the lineup. The Kids Classic Cough Syrup T-Shirt is also on the list at about $60, which is the cheapest route into the classic artwork. Open this part of the catalogue first if you have been searching an awful lot of cough syrup shirt and bouncing off the $150 figure, and expect these prices to shift with drops and sales.
The tee range at a glance
What the brand actually publishes for each tee sits in the table below, rather than what forums assume. What the brand’s own store showed as of September 2026 is what the prices are, and they change with each drop. Some rows are thinner because the material column lists only what the brand states itself. The fit notes are taken from per-product guidance, not from a single global rule, since no single global rule exists here. Where the brand publishes nothing about the fabric, I have said so instead of filling the gap with a guess. Read it as a shortlist and then open the product page, because that is where the one useful fit sentence lives.

How these tees actually sit on a body
No one rule holds here, and pretending otherwise is how people end up reselling a tee they wore once. Published as true to size are the classic, the Warning tee and the King Of The Kill, Drankenstein and Juicebusters group, and most of the range besides. Relaxed is how the classic body is described, so true to size already means room through the chest and a print that sits flat rather than stretched. The Warning tee adds the option of going up one if you want a lower hem and a wider sleeve, which is the look most people are after. The two lightweight cropped styles come next, and they run small and ask for one to two sizes up, so a medium in the classic might be a large or extra large in Wok Is Dead. Depending on style, sizes across the apparel range go from extra small up to 3XL, though the deeper sizes are not on every product. No global size chart and no washing instructions get published by the brand, and that is worth saying plainly, so per-product notes and those flat measurements are all you get.
Choosing the one you will actually wear
Learn how the 6.5 oz body wears first: buy the classic in your normal size for a first piece, before spending on anything cut unusually. If you own one already and want something different rather than something similar, the cropped lightweight tees give you another silhouette for the same money, provided you respect the sizing note. Buyers who care about graphics more than cut should shop by name, since Drankenstein, Rib Cage and Cough Syrup Scary Movie pull from the horror side while Big Pharma and Promethazine Tour lean on medical wordplay. A $45 tee carrying this artwork is not coming from the label, so whatever you pick, check the yellow woven label, the product name against the brand’s own catalogue and the price against real levels. Plenty of searches land on stores with no connection to the brand, and Thats awful lot of cough syrup is one of a dozen ways people type the name into a search bar. The brand’s own online store and its Los Angeles locations at 7669 Melrose Ave and 312 W 5th St, plus 5410 Almeda Rd in Houston, are where it sells, and roughly two in five size variants sit sold out at any moment. Drop by drop, prices, colorways and availability shift, so check the live listing on the day you buy rather than trusting any guide, this one included.
