Have a beer instead.
That's a terrific idea!
I like Diet Sprite. But not today. I need Limoncino del Choistro - Italian lemon liquor. It makes your whole body feel warm. I'm going to defeat this cold, and I am going to roll out the artillery. Spanish Anis or Turkish Roki would do well also. So I will smell like a lemon tree instead of a licorice stick. No beer because I don't feel like eating anything with it:)
