Re: Probation violation:

When he tells the judge he was taking Nyquil he should try to keep a straight face since it is the most often cited (and worst) excuse for testing positive.

Nyquil is only 10% alcohol (It used to be 25%) and he'd have to chug two 4 oz. bottles of it just before his PBT to blow a .05

He'd be better off if he just 'fessed up to you and to the judge.
