I have a cough.
This is no mamby-pamby cough either. I am hacking up smurfs (as Monroe would say) the size of my right fore-arm (as Karl would say). I don't think I have pneumonia, but then I didn't think I had it the last time either. I just thought I broke a rib.
Regardless, when I have a bad cough, there is a home remedy that I turn to. It has arguable medicinal value, but it inarguably makes you feel better.
The 1/2 cup Whiskey Sour.
Take 1/2 cup of lemon juice, add 1/2 cup honey. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Mix until well blended. Nuking it just makes it easier to mix, so do more or less to your liking. Add 3 ice cubes to cool it to a reasonable temperature, and then add 1/2 cup of whiskey. Cheap is fine. I use Potters. Sip it over the course of the evening, and then slam what's left just before bed. Probably should take an acid blocker, if you are prone to heartburn.
