Cough Medicine

[Admin]

Do you take cough medicine when you are sick even though almost half of it is alcohol?

[tubaloth]

Yes! Usually I check how much alcohol is in it. I'm taking the medicine because of the alcohol I'm taking it get back to good health. I'm also not going off Drinking medicine every Friday night. There is a difference.

So how much alcohol is too much for your cough medicine?

How much is too much? I don't know. One takes medication to feel better not to get drunk. The amount isn't a big deal to me.

LoL where I live I see a few people who live outside drink mostly mouthwash . I guess I mostly use cough drops I haven't really used to much syrup  but night quil has or used to have 90% alchol and 1 to 2 bottle's of that if u can afford to can knock u out for awhile  esp. if you take anything else with it  .

My friends, get the principle. What is the principle behind WoW? Is it the 5 things prohibited by D&C 89? No! It´s a simple question of what is good for the body, and what is bad for it. If I have an allergy to milk, and I take milk, I´m breaking the WoW, in a sense. If I don´t exercise, I´m breaking the WoW. If I take cough medicine because the doctor told me too, it doesn´t matter if it has alcohol or marijuana in it. However, if I take it to get drunk, that´s another question. Only God can judge in all reality.

You are speaking about breaking the Word of Wisdom and the Spirit of the Word of Wisdom. Let's make that clear because breaking those five things prohibited in Doctrine and Covenants 89 is what will you keep you out of the Temple and not a glass of milk.
