New England B.S. Thread

Couple weeks back I felt a cold starting, had Hot Toddy a few nights in a row and it never got worse than a slight stuffed nose.

 

Finally a place us Vermonters can call home thanks for the thread.

 

Hot water, bourbon, lemon, and I put in a cinnamon stick.

Edit - and Honey. Can't forget the Honey

 

Basically it's a shot of bourbon, a shot of lemon juice, and a shot of honey. Mix them together in a mug with hot water and hammer it down, then go to bed. You can add cloves and a cinnamon stick if you want to fancy it up.

 

ooooooo ok I like the sound of this. So first guess was actually pretty close haha

 

Same ballpark, I guess. Basically the citrus and whiskey sear the germs out of your throat, the honey soothes it to keep you from coughing long enough to fall asleep, and the hot water and whiskey knock you out so you can sleep off whatever ails you.

I haven't used Nyquil in years because these work just as well for helping me sleep, without making me stupid the next day. More stupid than usual, that is.

 

Gonna need a lot more than a shot of whiskey to know me out

 

Because of the hot water it goes into your system all at once, no slow absorption rate. It's practically an instant uptake. I've got a pretty good tolerance, but a double shot of bourbon in a hot toddy is still enough to put me to sleep.

 

Ooooo

 

I am sure it is......

 

I'll be going down 9/1 for a week. It depends on the weather on which one I get.
Last year it was very windy and cool and we just went out for the day.
The year before, my 1st with the Tacoma it calm sunny and in the 80's all week. I got the season pass then.

 

Go back to sleep and rest, you can wifey fill you in on the tw stuff

 

You will definitely sleep better , but make it a double

 

What's it made from?
Wheat, Corn, Potatoes, Grass,?
Let's think, Oh yeah Sweden has a lot of Snow!

 

I have heard of Aquavit. Why? Where did I hear of it? Damn.

 

Grain, taters...

Have some in the freezer.
Crazy stuff.
I stop at Aquavit.
No way I'd eat Lutefisk.

 

Lutefisk is...an acquired taste.

 

Have not had either.

 

I don't eat anything made from Easy-Off oven cleaner (lye).
These Swedes I knew would drink Aquavit then eat Lutefisk.
No,no no.
