Thread Name: BS: Childhood folk medicine
Subject: RE: BS: Childhood folk medicine
Any condition that seemed to approach the flu or a bad cold would have my German (2nd generation) mother reaching for the family pint of whiskey. (This in a family of complete abstainers.) The most clear result was that in my final years I must content myself with good beers and wines, or even an occasional tequila. I cannot bear the taste or even the smell of the finest bourbons or Scotches.
