      Not really.
      Most drugs work in a way inside the body to either eliminate foreign cells causing disease, or modify the receptors in our body so we feel things differently (like painkillers).
      I don’t think it’ll be possible to make a drug that will enhance real actions – it would be more likely to develop some sort of robot/bionic species which would have an impact on that sort of thing.
      The only thing that would be close to that is drugs which would change the way you experience things – so to alter how your brain thinks about the act of cooking or changing clothes. But that is still quite unlikely to become a commercial idea as modifying your brain chemistry is so dangerous. You don’t know what other serious damage you could be causing!

      Unfortuantely not! Drugs are designed to work on specific mechanisms in the body to stop pain (for example) but they don’t make people do things real life actions like cooking etc.

      I find the promise of a cup of coffee, with the wonderful drug caffeine, helps me through these dark times in my life 🙂
