Cough-Sryupy Hard Liquors?

They didn't have Southern Comfort 100 proof, so I got Wild Turkey 101
instead. Eeeek. Wrong stuff. Other than Jaegermeister and
Goldschlager, what other common middle-shelf liquors are greater than
83 proof and could double as cough syrup?

What was I thinking of ... Old Grand Dad, maybe? I'm so out of touch
lately.

No hurry. I can't buy any more until 10am Monday anyway due to
unconstitutional laws based on religion.

If you want an actual effective cough syrup, call your doc and get a
prescription for one of the codeine based ones. You don't need a lot
either, since unlike essentially all OTC stuff, they work very well.

I agree -- either codeine or hydrocodone based antitussives work;
everything else pretty much does not. And they're not just symptomatic,
they can be therapeutic by keeping you from damaging yourself by coughing.

Just my personal experience.

Even a good cough drop will work well. I have some Halls's Plus. They have
a berry flavor and honey inside.

Save the booze for a cold. Any kind will work if you take a couple of ounces
at bedtime. I feel better the next morning. Aside from Southern Comfort,
the only ones I can think of that are a bit syrupy is Yukon Jack and
Jeremiah Weed.

Wild Turkey 101 is good on the rocks while you nibble on chips or nuts and
listen to the blues like I'm doing right now.

Troll, Troll Troll,

I'm sure you are well aware of the following.
Go and buy a cough medicine with dextromethrophan. That will probably work
if you just let whatever is causing your cough run its course. That is,
unless you smoke. I doubt that you are retarded to that degree unless you
have the same cerebral disorder that President Obama has.
Then, call your doctor and get a prescription for hycodan, or something
equivalent.

I find that the only cough syrup that works well in all cases (all
coughing cases I have had) uses codeine as a base. I suppose any
opiate if strong enough will work. Here in Canada, we can get a mild
codeine syrup over the counter. One winter I had a cough so bad, I
used to pass out whenever I coughed due to the artery(ies)that pass
blood to the brain becoming constricted. Codeine was the only stuff
that worked. Dextromethorphan didn't.

WT101 is good anytime. My fave is a dbl shot in a good cuppa joe
early in the morning. When I'm feeling like WT n' blues, it's me on
guitar. ;)

I should of noted that I didn't need it for a cough, but rather for a
sore throat. I've had it for 2 weeks and it seems be one spot in the
back of nasal passages right where my nose drains into my throat.

I sipped about a half pint of the Wild Turkey last night over the
course of 2 hours and while it actually made it worse for the first 30
minutes, it cleared up after that. It hasn't hurt this little for
over a week.

Drambuiue, B&B, and Rock and Rye used to be mainstays here but they
don't fall into either the 83+ nor the "middle shelf" requirements I
had :-) And Rock and Rye is not available anywhere in Austin (I
checked all the distributors last year).

And Kent - Learn to recognize trolls and stop playing Chicken Little.

Far be it from me to discourage anyone's sipping of decent potables
for *any* reason-- but I reach for the Vit. C first. A gram or so
every few hours until things clear up. [timed release actually makes
sense with water soluble vitamins] And you can buy it on sunday!

A medicinal brew can still be sipped with no ill effects if used in
moderation.

I have been on about 3,000mg of Vitamin C and 1,000mg Echinacea for
about 3 weeks now. It did not stave off the eventual sickness.

I know that pain, and I also know how to cure it.
It is caused by a small amount of bleeding back there,
and it is the blood which is the irritant. The cure
is to take a short, sharp inhalation. If you're lucky,
you'll dislodge a mass of mucus, and if you spit it into
a sink where you can see it, you'll notice it has a little
blood in it. It doesn't take much blood to cause pain.
As soon as you get rid of it, the pain goes away.

Nor cure it.

I also tried the Zinc based products - both the lozenges and nasal
spray when it started set in. Then I read the package and in fine
print I see the word "Homeopathic".

Uh-oh. So I did some research on homeopathic medicine and it tunrs
out those super-expensive zinc products are really just cheap placebos
that don't cost a dime to make. So that was $25 down thew drain.

Why does the FDA allow them to advertise these as practically a cure
with no scientific evidence to back it up? hundreds of years worth of
quackery and lack of scientific evidence, even.

What a scam.

Philips has a line of 100 proof liqueurs and schnapps. (I've only
had the black one that tastes like J?germeister.)

Drambuie might work, but it's only 80 proof.
