    I didn't even know there were calories in medicine! Is it a syrup or something?

    Liquid medicine is nothing but sugar and alcohol

    Where do you even find that information on the box??

    As for you, you're sick. Don't worry about how many calories it has. It's doing more for your body in making you better than it is damaging it.

    Get well soon.

    I NEVER EVER thought about medicine having calories!!!! I'm assuming we are talking cough syrup, maybe antacid stuff. Sheesh!

    BUT -- if you need the meds, you need the meds.

    Where did you find that information?

    Yep, just checked. The big 2 Tbsp. shot of NyQuil has 93 calories. Alchohol and sugar I'm sure.

    "It's the nighttime coughing sniffling sneezing - wake up in the kitchen floor and wonder how you get there medicine". :laugh: :happy: :tongue:

    I don't care - next time I get a cold I'll still do a double shot o'NyQuil with a beer chaser. It works for me, and nothing else does.

    I do a shot of jagermeister instead of cough syrup. It has about 100 calories and it helps you sleep. Besides, it's a good excuse to keep a big bottle of it in the house at all times.

    Yes, but I'm sure you injest some of that toothpaste. I mean, in the spirit of this wonderful subject, I can't afford a handful of wasted calories, since we're splitting hairs here. hahahahha.
