Brief Answer:
Nyquil has alcohol as inactive ingradient
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, Thanks for the replay.
Yes, as suspected by you, NyQuil has 25 % alcohol content. The alcohol is listed as an inactive ingredient or additive. So this can cause the breath analyzer to detect alcohol.
Other drugs you listed does not cause the elevation of alcohol.
Hope this answered your question. Feel free to ask if any other related question and I will be glad to answer them.
Wish you and your sister good health.
