did you ever google zinc and these things called vitamins? u could use some of your free time with that.
@killster1... those Nature's Way 23mg zinc lozenges you bought...
My sister calls yesterday and we chat. She has the same ones, and I had them in my cart yesterday at The Vitamin Shoppe after going through the rigamarole of registering, password and all, putting 5 in my cart for free shipping and ultimately finding out they were OOS, the bastards.
Well, sister a lot left in her bottle and no N95, so we swapped. I gave her 8 N95, she gave me 20 lozenges. BTW, the instructions say dissolve completely in mouth (i.e. not chew or swallow):

He's the OP.
Pretty sure he was just joking about alcohol... like the person he was quoting.
Dumb joke. We should all know by now that drinking is not advised while this is going on. Did you know that ethyl alcohol is toxic?
