Um, we don't have whiskey. Just wine, and maybe some vodka that Mom uses for mixed drinks. And I've regained some of my voice, anyway. But I'll definitely keep that in mind if the pain reliever wears off. Thanks.

Use the vodka instead of the whiskey and see if that works... if you really need something later to help.
