What spirit should I get? What should the well stocked drinks cabinet contain?

Alt: I had a tickly cough at the weekend and might have sneezed a couple of times. Today I'm a bit bunged up. Should I go home and drink Lemsip?

I'm feeling really rough too, I think I might ask if I can work from home today even though I'm supposed to be meeting up the directors.
My back and stomach stuff is really painful today, and I think it's also a bit of an emo week for a lot of people on account of it being so long between paydays this month, that there isn't any bank-holidays to look forward too, valantines day is coming up (which is shit for singletons). Plus for me, my treatment is on wednesday, and I'm always shit in the run-up towards it.
