Irish-up that Remedy

Sore throat? Runny nose? Headache? Insomnia? Dysentery? In my family full of doctors, we have a relatively  non medical cure all for most everything. The master recipe is as follows: equal parts honey, lemon juice, and whiskey. Honey soothes the throat, lemon breaks up mucous, and whiskey helps with the cough and also makes you want to sleep. There are many variations to this remedy; my grandfather swore by Drambuie, my father with Walker, and I with Jameson. All have a good medicinal effect that I have no memories of. The recipe originates from Ireland, where whiskey has long been known to have medicinal purposes. It's been one of those things my family always jokes about. Whenever anybody complains about anything (medical or not), whiskey is always joked as the answer. It's the Poison of Champions
