hcwt, here is 'bo family redneck cold medicine.
large mug
2 cups boiling water(amount of water used depends on mug size, we use large thick mugs for heat retention, about 16oz I think)
favorite tea(we prefer celestial seasonings sleepy time)
1 shot of favorite bourbon(we prefer Bulliet Rye)
honey - 2-3 teaspoons to taste(if more sweet needed use sugar, too much honey throws off the menthol)
lemon or lime juice - minimum 1/2 teaspoon(I don't like the citrus to overpower the tea, but many people use full teaspoon)
preheat mug(hot water from tap or boil extra water and preheat with it), add all ingredients except water and let sit for couple minutes to preheat, add water, stir well
Toddy is ready. Grab favorite wooby(pillow, blanket, pet, AR, Glock, whatever you like to snuggle, do not however, use wife unless she is already sick, you will be blamed for infecting her) and retire to comfy chair or bed. Keep mug near your face and breath in the steam til it cools enough to drink. Sip it but don't let it cool. Adjust recipe to taste but keep minimums.
The whiskey, citrus and honey give a menthol type effect and the steam helps carry it in. Whiskey heated contributes to pain relief, relaxation and sleep. Tea is soothing and contributes to relaxation and sleep.
Two toddy's and a dose of Nyquil are my own personal regime.
I think most families have this sort of recipe, this is our version for at least the last four generations and we swear by it.
...and I'm heading my dumb ass to bed as well.
...wishing this was Friday right now.
Peace, ho-bags....have a good day tomorrow.
She brought me home a piece of cheesecake from the restaurant! My wife rocks!
And I'll get all of her leftovers too. Go upstairs dog..... This bag is MINE!
Wow, American Olympic speed skating is really disappointing.
Thanks for the Bo fam recipe. I will save it and try it for sure.

I wanna be a creepy ol man like you when I grow up. [Coffee]
My beer is empty. [Cry]
If only I had a kid who could get me a replacement.
My dog is asleep, next to my wife's dog, at the foot of our bed.
Transition time so I get to stay up until midnight, which means I get to drink beer all night until I can't read the time anymore and then go to bed. [LOL]
There's nothing like shocking your taste buds with a doube wide IPA when you were expecting a saison. [facepalm]
Haha! Reminds me of a night someone put vodka in my water bottle. Prankster roommates!
Hehe, after a workout. A big swig of vodka.....I pass.
I always liked screwdrivers for lecture hall
[LOL]
That reminds me after a parade with the marching band, we couldn't have water bottles while we marched and I was dehydrated. I asked the drumline for some water from their nalgenes (because their harnesses had storage space) and I took a huge gulp only to realize it was vodka. [Puke]
Bed time for bonzo!
I ain't been to a titty bar in forever.....make it rain!
I just been drinking high life lately....usually pbrs at the pub. Gone are the days of yummy microbrews.
I do like old rasputin, I think north coast brews it.
