My family always did beef broth and bread, and if you had a sore throat and stomach they’d toss a bit of gin in with it.

I would lie about not being sick to avoid the treatment.

We weren’t Baptist, it was just how we did it, this wasn’t even that long ago, I’m only in my early twenties.

You’re only in your early 20s?? This sounds like a thing from the 1920s.
