It is 8:16am right now and since waking up I have had a shot of rum. Budding alchoholism? Sure, but more than that I had a throat infection and completely lost my voice this morning. So at the suggestion of Micah I sipped a shot of hot rum (see: dylan) with a splash of butter. It sounds gross but it made my throat feel a thousand times better and I even got a little vocal range back.

So I highly suggest the hot shot of buttered rum.

Caveat: I did have a cup of tea before the rum.
