An age old question about cough syrup?!


Question: Why does it have to taste so bad? Is it really necessary? I took some tonight that was alcohol and sugar free, but it tasted just as nasty as any other kind. Is the bad taste to prevent people from drinking it just because? Why can't it all be sugar free and non-alcoholic, but still taste good? Is it some kind of unwritten law?

Its not supposed to taste good - its medicine.

It could be to stop people from consuming it for non-medical reasons. There are reports of people with alcohol problems drinking for it's high percentage of alcohol. There are other ingredients which if drank to excess could cause harm. or maybe it's just the medication that tastes naturally bad. Not sure.
