    You don’t drink Scotch in units of “shots”

    Aye, but neither does a flu vaccine come by the dram.

    Happily, there is medical guidance recommending both treatments. In Volume 22 of The Medical Critic and Guide under “The Treatment of Influenza,” the following course is suggested:
    “An initial dose of one mil of mixed influenza vaccine (Sherman’s No. 38) is given; also ten grains of aspirin or sodium salicylate followed by one or two teaspoonfuls of sal hepatica in a glass of cool water… Where there is a tendency to collapse, a dram or two of aromatic spirit of ammonia or whiskey is given…”

    I try to run a credible blog, so must ask you to keep this sort of big pharma advertising off my website.

    PS – I checked your link, and it appears the RCT was not pre-registered. Nor does it say if you should use the 10-year or the 12-year cask-strength ammonia.
