I didn't know that about the hot toddy--through most of history, women were discouraged from drinking. Only whores drank booze. Polite women drank tea. I have a great hot buttered rum recipe.

Toss it all in a bottle and get it mixed together nicely. She gives out a big teaspoon full, and it tends to do wonders. That and plenty of sleep. Feel better!!! :) Well, I have to agree with you, although I am not really much of a drinker in my regular life (only because alcohol doesn’t have the same taste and effect on me as hot fudge) lol
