Pneumonia question
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?

Depends on your definition of "little" 
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!

Yes, you should have a hot Irish Whiskey instead.

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!
