NyQuil
Vicks evening formula
NyQuil is a brand of over-the-counter cold and flu medication, typically taken at night.
Its formula includes ingredients that cause drowsiness, making it both a remedy and a sleep aid.
The name has become shorthand for knocking yourself out when sick: I took some NyQuil and passed out for twelve hours.
