Had a case of the sniffles, which has become a touch of “I don’t feel good,” which will become bad strain of “where’s my fiancee when I need her” if I don’t get some sleep. So you know what time it is.
NyQuil.
Now, I’m a little wary of NyQuil because of a bad experience I had with it back in ’97 (FYI, don’t ever take NyQuil at 11, wake up at 5:30, drive at 6:45, and not eat at any point in the sequence). But I’m gonna need to sleep tonight if I’m going ot have any chance of staving off this ickiness.
My preference has historically been for the caplets, since they have no taste. NyQuil has always tasted like, if I spilled some on the floor, that spot would be super shiny. Anyway, for some reason, I’ve got the liquid form here. And I can’t find the little shot glass that game with it, so I’m guesstimating how many spoonfulls to take. I voted for “a lot.”
But that also meant repeatedly having to taste NyQuil. That’s wack. But eh, gotta play to win, right? I made it work.
Know what? It wasn’t so bad.
Then I realized I hadn’t slowly drank NyQuil since I was about 17. That would be years before I got turned on to drinking.
And hell, if I can convince myself that gin tastes good, the same can be done with NyQuil. Tonight, I realized I’d pulled off that feat.
See, folks, this is a way that alcohol keeps you healthy. Outside of red wine’s good effects on the heart, that’s the only way.

NyQuil tastes like a slightly less appealing version of black licorice. It could be much, much worse.

I highly recommend playing video games while under the influence of NyQuil.
You will set records. I’m not kidding.

I used to use NyQuil as a PED for things like an important Madden or video baseball matchups. Along with Tony Hawk competitions.
Again, I’m not kidding.

OMG! get out of my life! i got sick a few weeks ago and, in a pitiful state, called a friend to make a house call with Nyquil and ABC soup (save the comments). and said friend shows up with the liquid…
so, i said, “if i can shoot yager bombs and liquid cocaine, i can take nyquil.”
bottoms up (and i hope you feel better).

I happen to remember that bad experience. I believe it had something to do with a car and a ditch.
I figured you had sworn off the stuff forever after that

I think I see a Real Men of genius commercial in here somewhere.

^^
It could only be worse if it tasted EXACTLY like black licorice.

During my Freshmen year @ CAU I drank NyQuil everynight for the first 3 months… You get used to the taste!
I think that I also drank because I couldn’t stomache real alcohol, yet!

i don’t know why folk hate on nyquil. it’s an easy way to catch a buzz without the icky alcoholic breath. sure it’s not the best tasting stuff out there, but neither is whiskey.
hope u feeling better, dude.

I like liquid nyquil better than the pills. After you take a shot you get that warm feeling in your stomach. Oooh wee! You can hit the sack feeling real toasty.
BTW – Whiskey is the best tasting stuff out there.

The cherry-flavored version goes down better.
