"THAT IS CALLED ALCOHOL"
For some unknown reason this myth, about the alcohol content of Nyquil is the reason for it's sedative effect, remains popular.
Why is it that such a small amount of alcohol would knock out a grown man, yet a night of drinking requires much larger amounts? Does no one realize that the anti-histamine, diphenhydramine, found in Nyquil is one of the stronger sedative anti-histamines?
