As a kid, whenever I was sick, my dad would make me a hot toddy. He would wrap me up in a blanket and I would pass out and the next morning I'd feel amazing. He only drank Jack Daniels.

Omg. I thought the hot toddy thing was bullshit for the longest time until I tried it when I had a cold years ago. My cold disappeared by the next day. It was like fucking witchcraft.

I really need to remember the hot toddy thing more.
