How many pills did you get, only two? Snorting them is not only useless (you will lose more of it than you want, and get less high tbh), but also painful with the binders and acetominophen. Not worth it at all. You are best off either just swallowing the pills, or if you must crush them, put it in a non-scented tissue, and eating it (never cared for doing this myself). You could put it into gatorade as you suggest, but they are kind of bitter. I usually just broke up the pills into a few pieces and swallowed them. I would do both pills at once, taking only one will just be a tease. Don't take them too late at night. You will probably lose sleep if you take them past 8-9PM. You are safe with acetominophen doses of up to 1000mg (the dose I usually take when I have a sore throat). 15mg of hydrocodone should be a decent first time high with no tolerance. Expect 4 to 6 hours of high once it kicks in.
