Default What is Illegal in what area?

Im a 19 year old male from Canada traveling to 18 coutrys in Europe and I was wondering if anyone knows of any wierd things they have come across that are Illegal? Im not talking about weed not being Illegal in Amsterdam or no drinking age but things like I heard Tylenol is Illegal in Hungry, is this true? and Iv also heard energy drinks are Illegal in France. It would suck to get caught with something that I dint know was Illegal and have to spend time in jail because of it.
thanks

Tylenol is marketted under the name Panadol in Hungary. Different name but it's not illegal.

Red Bull is banned in France. I don't know if that applies to all energy drinks though. You're not going to end up in jail over one or two cans though. Just don't try to import a truckload.

Don't worry too much. It's good that you're planning ahead, but as long as you're polite to any police officers you do meet and not carrying major drugs or breaking big obvious laws you're not going to end up in jail.
