If you have it, is it bad to have a little bit of bourbon here and there if you are otherwise drinking lots of fluids and being a good boy? :munchin

Depends on your definition of "little":D
But generally not going to set you back any farther.
Sorry you're sick:(

RL-
Bacterial? Are you on antibiotics? If so, sorry, till the course of Antibiotics is done, no bourbon for you. If it's viral and you are not on tamiflu, otr another antiviral, a very small touch of the kentucky cough medicine is ok - if you are on any antiviral, wait until the course is over.
Lawyers, don't listen to their doctors, but listen to the SF medics.... sheesh!

At least he's smart enough to know who to ask!

This is why I stayed out of this one........actually it's because bourbon is bad for a pneumonia but a 15 or 18 year old single malt scotch can cure it!!!!!!

Nope, NO Bourbon for you. (in a good Soup Nazi accent).
RL, wait a couple of days after the course of meds is over, then you can go back to swilling Kentucky Kool-Ade.

Hey my grandfather swore by a spoon full of honey and a shot of Old Crow. If that didn't work he would rub kerosene (coal oil) on his chest. I remember when he stepped in a bear trap (he forgot where he hid it) and broke his foot he soaked it every night in a bucket of coal oil.
Hey he lived to be 90 who am I to make fun. :)
Pneumonia is nothing to toy with.
Although I did win that lung tissue/blood coughing contest with the other occupants of my hospital room during my tenure after Ranger school.

Wow RL, sorry to hear you are ill. I had bacterial pneumonia in November and it took about three months to get my lungs back!
