Answer 1

Yeah, thats how Pimp C the rapper died.... although he had some respiratory problems that complicated it

Answer 2

go to bed and hopefully it will be better in the morning. sleep and plenty of water with vitamins will get you better.

Answer 3

Yes!

Answer 4

dude you ask some of the THE randomest questions lol. idk im not 21 so i would have nooooo clue. and what the heck is soco?

Answer 5

Not at all, you just need to take the equivalent to the amount of alcohol (for you It would be only 2 shots)

Answer 6

Dextromethorphan and alcohol have a respiratory depressant effect when mixed. Awake, you are OK, sleep, and you can stop breathing .  I hate it when that happens.

Answer 7

eww soco.. i had some pretty bad nights with soco.. making "dirty radiators".  anyways, no you shouldnt have a problem.  another thought, try sucking on a lozenge.. halls and that other one i cant remember (starts with an L) are good sore throat soothers.
