Medicine, No Chaser

This is just a piece of friendly advice I want to offer based on my experience today.  You know those warning labels on medicine that suggest you don't consume alcohol while taking them?  You might want to pay those a little more attention in the future.  I am battling a cold and decided to take some daytime cold and flu relief.  In order to speed up my recovery, I decided to take a shot of vodka to help with the congestion.  BAD MOVE!  That was one of the nastiest combinations I have ever tasted.  So please heed my warning.  If you are taking over the counter or prescription cold medication, do not chase it with vodka.
