Replacing alcohol with Nyquil is very common, as is the sugar craving when giving up alcohol. I've been through it personally. Glucomannon helped me get off the sugar rollercoaster.

The "coughing, sniffling, sneezing, stuffy-head, fever, so-you-can-rest medicine," INDEED! (With the extra-bonus nasty black licquorice taste, to boot!) Suck on that, newbies...Ain't nothing like 1980's Nyquil to beat you down! Yeah, well, I remember when NyQuil (and Vick’s Formula 44D) was 80 proof.

Alcohol, benedryl and dextromethorophan. NyQuil has all sorts of yummy things that when all mixed together can pack quite a punch. Alcohol, benedryl and dextromethorophan.

She was one of my nicest customers at Starbux when I worked at one in W. Hollywood, and she was one of the only female celebs to ever tip me! And she'd tip every single time. Generous, and sweet lady. :) It's fun seeing her on "Glee" now. I like this actress so much. She was one of my nicest customers at Starbux when I worked at one in W.

In high school, at the height of some of my problems, I was taking 5 Benadryl a night and several throughout the day. Did it get me as wasted as some of the other things I was doing? Not really, but it felt "good" to me at the time and I thought it worked. The point is not that Nyquil was a substitute for alcohol point-for-point, the point is that she gave it up and needed another fixation, which is very common. Also, the sugar thing: though Miller Lite doesn't have a ton of sugar in it, alcohol withdrawal can make your blood sugar levels fluctuate and can cause sugar cravings. This happens a lot with addicts who give up alcohol; they get a big sweet tooth or they get cravings for salty things. Their bodies have been thrown out of whack.

I used to take paracetemol every morning for fear of a headache starting. When i tried to stop I would get anxious and ... get a headache! Sometimes its not the quantity of the substance but the act of taking the substance itself that provides comfort.

I believe when you drink alcohol it actually metabolizes into sugar, hence the sugar cravings. I agree with the other commenters about the sugar thing.
