Cough medicine for the kid.

Mom used to mix a little sloe gin with our milk when I was

Were you in an airplane?

Cough medicines generally suppress respiration and mask the symptoms of
hypoxia, as well as increasing susceptibility to hypoxia a great deal.
Combine that with alcochol and the risks are even greater.


Don't make me sorry that I called Bertie a troll.
