I have now dosed myself…

I have now dosed myself with something called Chesty Cough (which contains alcohol), Strepsils cough drops (which also contain alcohol), and tea with honey. The nice young man at the counter heard me cough, and gave me an entire small jar of honey to take away, along with my tea. That's what I call hospitable. There is no alcohol in the tea currently, but if this combination doesn't manage to soothe my killer cough, I may go in search of a hot toddy as the next step in my cough suppression quest.
