A member asked:
Taking nyquil on a regular basis can it cause the ethanol level in your blood to be significantly high and cause a positive blood test for alcohol?!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Nyquil is 25% alcohol. That's 50 proof. If you take enough of it, it will give a positive blood alcohol result.
