Unhappy Nyquil? Really?

Okay, I know it's 10% alcohol, and I've heard stories about A's getting drunk on weird stuff like Nyquil, Vanilla extract and mouthwash. Now I've seen it with my own eyes.

AW managed about 8 months of sobriety, but lately I've been coming home to find her apparently drunk. She swears up and down she's not drinking, and my Daughter and I have had no luck finding a stash.

Finally, she told me she'd been taking Nyquil. I asked how much, and she said she just turns up the bottle. So, knowing her consumption habits, (she has a hard time doing anything in moderation) I'd say she just chugged the whole bottle. It made her every bit as drunk as Vodka or Whiskey ever has.

(Either that, or she's gotten really clever about hiding her booze, which is another possibility.)

Just when I thought nothing could surprise me.
