Mike & Ikes and Jager can DIE

I’m pretty sick...most likely due to basically crushing a 30 by myself this weekend...so I get this organic [expensive] herbal tea to rid me of this old man death cough.  Much to my dismay, the first ingredient is licorice root.  I seriously cannot understand why anyone likes licorice.  Mike & Ikes are pretty much the devil...I’m getting flashbacks of water-mouthed nausea and Halloween just thinking about them.  The only thing worse than Mike & Ikes is Jager.  So I’m at work drinking expensive nausea inducing Jager tea and I’m about to off myself.  Screw you, Jager tea…Screw you.

  3. People have been using expectorants for pneumonia since the middle ages. Muscnex is an expectorant. And in fact, licorice is an expectorant. so bravo, good choice!


    "Expectorants often work by thinning respiratory secretion, allowing mucous to be dislodged and expelled upward by the three hundred million, or so, tiny cilia that line much of the lower respiratory system. In essence, expectorants help a cough to become more ‘productive.’ While their broader actions do vary considerably, expectorants can be loosely categorized as reflex or direct. They might also be further classified as stimu-lating or relaxing expectorants, depending on their understood impact on the physiology."

  4. Guaifenesin may help control symptoms but does not treat the cause of symptoms or speed recovery. Guaifenesin is silly. So is licorice. that comment was also longer than the blog.

  5. Guaifenesin is the shit. at the very least it makes you feel better so you can stop drinking shitty tea and bitching about it.
