I use whiskey as a preemptive medicine. I'm never sick!!  "Shoot lower, Sheriff, They're ridin' shetlands" May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco? | |||

For the flu the Farmers Almanac advises taking a hat and a bottle of whiskey to bed. Hang the hat on the bedpost at the foot of the bed and drink the whiskey until you can see two hats. ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||

How does it work in the old westerns? -Gotta remove a bullet? Swig some whiskey and remove w/ a knife. -Gotta set a bone or remove an apendage? Swig some whiskey. -Gotta remove an arrow? Swig some whiskey and push the arrow the rest of the way through and out the other side. | |||

A whole 5th makes me both forget about pain until the next day, and also forget about any possible consequence as well.... in fact, 2 of them will subtract any possible pain by a factor of 2, but increase it the next day by a factor of 4.

My father told me as my kid was teething... "Pour 2 fingers of Scotch in a glass, dip a napkin in and rub on the kids gums, then drink the rest yourself. It will help the kid to stop crying, and help you to calm down as well." My wife would never let me put the first to test, but I can certainly vouch for the second half! I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself. | |||

My hypocrisy goes only so far |
My two ruptured disks appreciate 2-3 fingers of Bourbon. I prefer it to taking pills but obviously it’s not for around the clock use. I don’t know why I’m so adverse to pills. I just am. My medicine cabinet.  U.S.M.C. VFW-8054 III% "Never let a Wishbone grow where a Backbone should be "  | |||

I think there's something to this! Last year my future wife and I visited her great aunt at a senior living complex - one of her great aunt's friends was there who was 95 (she looked and moved like she was quite a bit younger). When asked what her secret was she said 2 to 3 shots of brandy every night and that her Dr told her she probably shouldn't have more than that. | |||

It always works in the movies. Guy takes swig from bottle of whiskey, grimaces as medic saws off his leg. | |||

You forgot splashing the wound with the whiskey. Dual-purpose medicine.
I tried it exactly once with my son. It royally pissed him off on top of the pain of the tooth coming in. I decided I didn't need to give him a taste for whiskey that young. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

| Crusty old curmudgeon  |
When I was recovering from my cancer surgery I didn't want to take too many Hydrocodone's so before going to bed I'd take one pill and drank 2-3 shots of bourbon and it worked like a champ. I got a good 6 hours of sleep doing that. My Doc was all for it. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

Works pretty well at stopping coughs, and asthma-like bronchospasms when your inhaler doesn't quite do the job too. Twenty seven years of experience with that. Scotch and brandy seem to work best, bourbons not so well. I keep one or two bottles handy for purely medicinal purposes.  | |||

Yes, but unlike mouthwash it needs to be swallowed to be most effective. Follow up is advised at short intervals "And I think about my loves,well I've had a few. Well,I'm sorry that I hurt them, did I hurt you too" I Was Wrong--Social D. | |||
