it's medicinal...
I thought I'd defeated this sore throat, but several days later I still feel miserable. I was at a party in Asheville last night, and was part of a group of people extolling the virtues of DayQuil, and complaining of the drink-water-then-pee-then-drink-water-then-pee endless cycle. Apparently the cold is going around up there as well, and misery loves company - especially when they're all wearing fun hats.
