You're welcome, Smokey! You ask: "I'd be interested to learn exactly what medication can put an illegal amount of alcohol in the bloodstream, as was suggested earlier. I know some cough remedies and mouth-washes contain small amounts of alcohol, but I've never known anyone actually drink them in pints."
