MrsFos, I'll send Mars to the liquor store, but I'll show him your post first. He might think I'm just going stir-crazy and refuse any part in it.

Plugged up is just an awful feeling. I'll bet we could find a "mythbusters" like test that would prove the efficay of the medicinal use of whiskey!

After your cold wears off, you could use the same recipe & pour it over ice for a nice relaxing whiskey sour! That one might not pass the "using it for medicinal purposes" excuse though!

Prayers for a speedy recovery! I hope you're feeling better soon! It's miserable to have all that going on at the same time!

You could try an old "home remedy" in the meantime -- 1 shot of whiskey, tablespoon of honey and juice of 1/2 lemon. It's not just an old wive's tale -- the whiskey is a bronchodilator so opens up your airways, the honey has immunity building properties and the lemon helps ease throat tightness. Plus it will help you sleep a little easier and rest is the best medicine!
