When I was a child, we had one of those old fashioned family doctors. Old, grumpy, white haired, and smoked like a chimney. I liked going to see him. Years later I asked my older sister what ever happened to him. She said, He died of lung cancer, and oh by the way, you remember those red lollipops you used to love so much, ... they were laced with Secobarbital. Apparently he hated loud children.

Well it was the 50’s.
@corlin I mean, my parents treated our teething with scotch whiskey, but... barbituates? dang.

My moms favorite cold remedy was
Small glass, two shots of bourbon, and the rest coke syrup. Get in bed with all the blankets on, and sweat it out.

Irish flu cure.
Take two bottles of whiskey to bed.
Place your hat on the left bedpost.
Drink until the hat moves to the right bedpost.
@corlin @janallmac @rpardee I still swig Blackberry Brandy when I have a sore throat. 🤷♂️
