I have a bad sore throat and have heard that Jack Daniel's whiskey can be a good remedy.

It's called a hot toddy, tea, honey, and good old Jack. My Daddy used to swear by it , may he rest in peace.

Whiskey Cold Remedy

A natural remedy that I use Cayenne pepper Lemon Juice Honey 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar Boil all 4 together with a small pan of water and inhale the vapors through your nose and mouth. Once it's cooled sip it. It's a bit spicy, but it really soothes the throat, and tastes like a unique soup. It helps the throat immensely.

Where I'm from those are called Hot Totties. What you can do it wash lemons cut them up and bring to a boil and drink that. You can add honey or peppermint to taste . You dont have to add the liquor for the sore throat the heat should help soothe the throat. If it persists more than 2-3 days see your Dr

it is the alcohol. it deadens the throat cels which makes it to where you can't feel the soarness, and alcohol is also a depressant, which helps to sleep. what alotof people do is mix a little whiskey, a little honey and a little lemon, and take that for a sore throat. the lemon attacks bacteria that may be there, and the honey sooths the throat, and whiskey does the above. a variation of this is to add a little water, and heat it up. i have heard both called hot toddy. i think the heat is also soothing to the throat. hope this helps

I suggest some better home remedies. Sore throat is usually due to a viral infection . Gargling with warm salty water or mouthwash can reduce the pain and inconvenience. More details and home remedies available at http://ailments.in/sorethroat.html

Absolutely!! It contains Alcohol (of course) Alcohol kills germs! The reason why beer is not that good at it is because its a much lower alcohol content. I would only take a shot or two though! Too much alcohol can actually make it worse cause it weakens your immune system!
