There is a purpose for Wiser’s Wednesday night hockey.

Experiment: we drank a 750 ml bottle of Wiser’s Special Blend, Canadian Whiskey, to prove if we could begin to treat the miseries of a cold. There is a purpose for Wiser’s Wednesday night hockey.


The amber liquor was aged to distinction for us to enjoy while watching the “Maple Leafs” play against an American team which will remain nameless at this point because they out scored and out played them on National Television. Ok, its, “Nashville Predators.” Damn fine name.

Which begs the question;” how can guitar players and cowboys play hockey”? I have national pride here and I am not the least prejudiced in any way. Yellow, uniforms?.

We wish to thank those distillers that have labored so hard to produce a fine whiskey that was consumed and the results of whether it cured us or made us not care if we were effected by a flu bug or not!!. We wish to thank the makers of “Canada Dry” soda gingembre, aka ginger ale, for the inclusive, politically correct segment of our readers. (so, are we acceptable?).

Water, which has no known ingredients that are unhelpful for you and the makers of the ginger ale have to list the stuff that it takes to make it. Just because you can’t pronounce the chemicals names, don’t make it a bad thing, as MSG might, for example.

What are trying to cure?. We both have a real nasty cold or flu or something that makes you better for a short time and then kicks your ass for a longer time. Home made soups and other concoctions have been so far ineffectual, so we are down to the basics ………….alcohol.!! I know for a fact that it cures various alignments and cause others.

To-days episode is about the curing part, as I assume you know the other causes this causes. I don’t believe in over the counter cold remedies nor prescriptions either.

Being old school, has no special privileges other than the fact the old guy ,is not listening to anyone when he is sick and to the best of my knowledge I don’t ask for help when I am in a fevered delirium either or so I have been told.!!

I am writing about this research on how it will cure this bug that had besotted us for such a long time and at the same time we are to undergo a hockey game on TV. One thing for sure as the volume of the liquid increases, not so, much, the capacity of intellectual power.

Another property that has been observed in a non medical conclusion, is you grow to be, “ten feet tall and bullet proof” and in the morning the opposite is true. This bares further study.

AS we consumed the untried mixtures in different volumes and temperatures the effects were noted as “I don’t give a shit if they scored again” many times, in increasing volumes as the game continued. How the hell do you shoot at the net, nine times and only score once??. Oh, once is enough to win a game, you say!!. But, they played for 60 minutes. Were they “figure skating”?.

When the game was over, so were we, and if you were expecting any myth busters conclusion, any alcohol if applied correctly in the above proportions does work as intended and a separate crowd of observers must record the results, because “we didn’t give a shit” and the cold continues on its miserable path of settling of scores. Amen

P.S.: it turns out that this cold and cough will last a 100 days,more or less. I like to error on the side of "more". So,we will make the necessary arrangements to bring enough :medicine" to cure this problem for sure.I think I am going to enjoy getting better,its almost cheaper than driving Arizona,but not near as much fun!!. .
