Slivovitz again.
Wow, didn't think anyone else knew of the "medicinal" properties of Slivovitz. I have on occasion used it for an upset stomach, but I use it as a cold remedy. At the first sign of a sniffle I take a couple of pseudoephedrine and a big, almost double shot of Slivovitz, 9 times out of 10 the cold really never develops, and in the 10th case I just repeat every couple of hours and the cold is all but forgotten. 110 proof will do that for you.
You know, I think I feel a sniffle coming on....
