Hot whiskey sour. Heat up two shots in a pan cut with a little water and two shots of lemon juice & teaspoon of honey. Drink as hot as you can stand it. Liquid Nyquil *%25 alcohol* is much more effective for me than the gel-caps, but like most medications, affect everyone differently. I wouldn't combine the gel-caps with alcohol myself. If you think you have food poisoning try to puke and get the bad food out of your system first.
