How does whiskey work as a cough suppresent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It doesn't: It doesn't that's why it isn't recommended. It will warm the throat and loosen mucus because of the warming action of the whiskey itself but it might actually worsen the cough after the "shot." why not trial honey first?
