Nyquil Sickness Anonymous
I've never gotten drunk before, the idea has never enticed me. I don't even sip alcohol because it just doesn't taste very good.

NyQuil is possibly the only thing that makes me vomit, my doctor says it's probably the alcohol. I'm thinking about drinking something soon and I don't want to drink the wrong thing in case it IS the alcohol in NyQuil that always does me in.

Does anyone else have this problem with NyQuil? IS it the alcohol or is it some other ingredient? I read somewhere it's the combination of alcohol and sugar that does it. What are some drinks that have low sugar content? I know absolutely nothing about liquor.

liquor itself doesn't have an insane amount of sugar in it (except for whisky possibly, or rum) but vodka doesn't have sugar. It really depends on what your mixing it with. like coke-full of sugar, probably nto a good idea. got it?

Do you know any other drinks that don't have sugar?
I'm still not sure if the alcohol is the issue. I've had champagne without any problem but I'm not sure if that's comparable to the sugar content of NyQuil or if that just means I should avoid things that are very obviously sugary and not worry too much about beer, wine and the like.

Liquor by itself shouldn't have much sugar. It's the fru-fru mixed drinks you need to be careful of, that way. Generally it's not sugar that's making you ill so much as the aldehydes, ketones, higher alcohols and other by-products of fermentation. If that's a concern, stick to vodka, and drink it neat. And never EVER mix or chase liquor with anything carbonated.

NyQuil has a pile of medications in it, and (these days) very little alcohol. I'd suspect one of the pharmaceutical ingredients is making you ill. Just don't mix drinks with it and you should be okay.

agreed with all of the above. Just drink some liquor, don't mix it too strong cause it's your first time and don't drink too much. you'll like it, . . . they always do.

best of luck!
