A member asked:
I've been drinking champagne (i had 1 whole bottle) but have a really bad cold and want to take nyquil before i sleep in a hour or two. will i be ok?

No Nyquil 2nite: You really don't need more alcohol tonight and Nyquil has that and other things that don't do well when soused. After already drinking that much you should sleep OK even with a bad cold. Drink a lot of water now. It may be good for the cold and may help with the dehydrating effects of the booze. Don't expect to feel too hot in the AM.
