Alcohol in all its forms

I wonder if I can get an entire post out of my cough? Hack snort splutter (death rattle noise) hawk (hcchGGrGGcssgg) SNEEZE hack sniff (swallow) hack. Dribble.

In the chemist yesterday I was persuaded to buy cough pastilles. Great. Only thing is, they're for daytime use only..

Chemist: ...but they won't help you at night.
Me: Oh, right. Night's when it's most irritating, you see.
Chemist: Yes, of course. I could give you Covonia, but... no.
Me: Oh? What's the problem?
Chemist: Well, it makes you drowsy.
Me: I can probably deal with that seeing as it's night-time, thanks.

I celebrated my logical triumph with a crate of Grolsch*. Only £11.86 at Thresher, beer fans! Though I got the last case, so ner ner.

*anyone following this link will notice that you have to (pretend to) be 18 to even LOOK AT this site! Think of the riches it must contain! Um, except it's not ready yet. Schtop indeed.
