Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for December 17, 2022

and preferably paid by someone else I believe. I think I saw that on WebMD

LOL!

But in my case, it would never be gin…most likely scotch or bourbon. Or really dark, molassesy rum.

Like tonight, it was dark rum and Northern Harvest rye in egg nog. Now I’m about to nog off…

That ought to take care of them pesky symptoms, Aunty!

She’ll mix herself an “Eli Whitney.” She always did cotton to gin.

Gin tastes like a Christmas tree.

A drunk will drink anything. Even stale warm beer. Like a dog returns to its vomit. Cheers Aunty. Arf, bark.

We have a poster on our refrigerator: it reads. I Googled my symptoms. I went from having a mild headache to legally dead in three clicks.

Doesn’t get rid of the symptoms, but who caresh?

( ͡~  ͜ʖ ͡~ )

Gin is the tonic, right Aunty?

A cotton gin?

FIFY Aunty…….

Goggled my symptoms…….turned out I just needed another gin.

No tonic to go with the gin???

My medicine is Scotch whiskey. . . .

I though she was strictly a winer.

Or a laxative.

aunty’s always able to gin up some kind of excuse…

Well the “Tonic” part was originally intended to treat Malaria, so …

Gin & Tonic became popular because, when Quinine was introduced to treat Malaria, the British Army had a problem getting the soldiers to take it because it tastes awful. Then, someone came up with a Brilliant Solution: They began mixing the Quinine with Gin and the Soldiers had to be watched to keep them from Stealing it to get drunk on.

All these years later, and people are still getting drunk on Malaria medicine.
