How early is too early

How early is too early

At what time of day is it appropriate to drink a Hot Toddy? I've spent the last few days in a war against respiratory virus. I tried the "wet sock treatment", that's where you soak a pair of thin cotton socks in water and put them in the fridge while you soak your feet in the hottest water you can stand for 20 minutes, then put the cold, wet socks on and some wool soaks over top. The theory is your body immediately goes into overdrive trying to reach homeostasis and that means your immune system ramps up and just pulverizes the virus. I didn't like it. I'm ok with lots of uncomfortable sensations, wet socks are just disgusting. Socks in general bother me, I'm a barefoot kinda girl, that was torture. Being a skeptical optimist concerning all things "crunchy", or holistic, or hippie-esque, I'll try new things. Learned reflexology, with and without essential oil, that shit actually works. How rubbing eucalyptus oil on your toes clears your sinuses, I do not know, but it works. I'd give the different oil remedies 2 thumbs up, I'm on day 5 of this battle and feel like I usually do on day 8 or 9, so it cut a couple days off. Out of all the remedies I tried, I feel the Hot Toddy worked best, 2 ounces of whiskey, 1 Tbsp of honey, 1 tsp of lemon, 4 ounces of hot water, "sip until relaxed." Relaxation came about the time it was halfway gone, I finished just for good measure. You know how they say to take ALL your medication, don't stop taking it when you feel better, you must finish it all. So I did. So now it's morning, I'm taking a sick day from work, I work with old folks, they don't need this shit. I'm thinking a Hot Toddy is in order, it might not cure me, but it makes being sick a little more tolerable.

 never too early, but don't waste a quality single malt; this is what blended is for

Exactly! I used the cheap stuff, left the single barrel alone.
