Drug cheat

Despite not knowingly having an alcoholic drink so far this January, I just tested positive for booze. How can this be? Reading the small print on the Beecham’s liquid all–in–one remedy that I am taking for the stinking cold that I have picked up, it appears that a 20ml dose — of which I have been taking two per day for the last three days — contains ethanol “equivalent to 6ml of wine”. So much for my rigorous booze ban. Shows how careful you’ve got to be though.
