An ounce of prevention...

Ok, so when you have a sore throat, gargle rum. It really kills the pain quite effectively.

Of course, this process is pretty painful in and of itself.

This is another one of Chris' brilliant intuitive leaps.

Damn it, I don't want to get sick. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr grr snarlyface grr.

My husband's comment was "wrong kind of rum!" ... he says some rums are much harsher than others.

I wouldn't know ... I only drink the stuff when it's blended with frozen strawberries and served with whipped cream on top. ;)

I prefer it with the frozen strawberries &etc. myself. The painkilling properties are pretty amazing, though. I'm using basic Bacardi stuff.

I gargle rum all the time! Usually blended with something sweet...

Oh.. *gargle* nevermind. :)

Seriously though, gargling with warm salt water is highly underrated.
