Drugged and Drunk

I came home from work this morning at 4 am and saw the bottle of Nyquil that I had asked the bf to get for me sitting on the kitchen table. I picked it up and thought...hmmm.....I'll get some sleep tonight. I then took the recommended 30ml (had to read the label because it was my first time ever taking Nyquil, I usually let my body battle it out with the virus) and got ready for bed.

THEN.....my head started pounding, my face felt tingly and flushed. I shifted uncomfortably in bed and held my breath....yes, my heart was racing and I began to feel nauseated.....oh crap, what was in the damned Nyquil? I finally made my way back to the kitchen and read the label. Oh shit! Alcohol is listed as the first inactive ingredient...alamak!

I can't process alcohol......

Was passed out till 2 pm today

Ouch! Poor thing. Plenty of rest, girl, plenty of rest. Fluids too.

Get well soon, ya? *hugs*

Obviously this means that you need more practice...

Tine: Thanks, I had to work for the past 3 days but now I have 2 days to rest. I'll get plenty.

Justin: I will NEVER touch Nyquil again. I can see why teenagers drink this to get high. I'll practice with Guinness...hehe

NyQuil is SUPPOSED to knock you out. It's the medicine that makes you sleep so you can rest and get better!
