If they are, there is a requirement for a preservative. I've seen a lot of non-US wines using salt instead of (or in addition to) sulfites. > > The motion sickness remedy I recommended will quiet stomach upset, > > headache, and vomiting (if you get that drunk) the morning after. > > How safe is this? Safe enough that I use it every time when riding a Air "Scare" West turboprop commuter flight. Their planes put "Space Mountain" to shame... the turbulence from the thermocline going into the heat bubble in Phoenix can drop the aircraft several hundred feet in a few seconds. Motion sickness cures are your friend. 8-). The reason I stressed "morning after" is mixing alcohol and medication of any kind is a bad thing. If you drink enough that you wake up drunk... well, you probably need the Betty Ford clinic, not a hangover "cure". If you wake up drunk, then you should probably not take it. 8-(.
