A member asked:

I had a drink an 1 1/2 hours ago and took half a dose of zzzquil just now, forgetting about the warning on the label. will i be ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be...: If it is half the dose it should not cause major problems especially if you just had one drink and that time has elapsed. Please make sure you don't mix it next time with alcohol.
