Im trying to write a novel and I have a question....

I want a character to drink from a poisoned whiskey bottle and lose conciousness in about half an hour.

Ive researched poisions a bit and cyanide is too fast...people die almost right away. Strychnine may be too bitter for whiskey. Arsenic also seems to take a long time.

Any chemists or murderers out there who have other suggestions?

I was thinking maybe crushed painkillers, or horse tranquilizer but this might a better resource

Drow Poison causes unconsciousness!

Triban: I'm confused. Are you a male model or a D&D geek?

I'm pretty sure there's a law prohibiting anyone from writing a novel with a posoning in it until you can recite the entire works of Agatha Christie from memory.

Sure, right.. a novel.

*alerts the authorities*

murmanjake Thanks obv Ive thought of that. Spent about 5 hours looking. Hoping someone with a chemistry background might have some advice

any of your opiates will give a similar effect, given the right dosages. you'll be able to mask the taste with the whiskey, too, if you use something like morphine.

trust me on this one - i know.

Nice try, murderer. Your hagwon boss can't be that bad.
