Whiskey really does numb the pain.
I have a massive toothache from a molar that just had the filling replaced. And the thing is hurting me. I don't think my dentist did something right because I have never had a toothache like this before in my life even when I needed root canal.

I'm on the phone crying to my mother because of the pain that I am in. She suggests I use whiskey to numb the pain and would you believe it - it actually works. Mind you my mother never drinks. I asked her if tequila would work because that's about it for booze in the house for me. She said she doesn't think so.

Of course the only whiskey I have in my house (since I can't really stand Whiskey) was in a goodie bag from the Kentucky ball at the Inauguration in DC Jan 2009. Wild Turkey American Honey - A smooth liqueur blend of honey and bourbon whiskey. I'm to put some on my finger and rub it on my gums where it is sore.

Oh I also found out that's what my mom did when I was teething.

1. I wonder if it is an infection? And would gargling with salt water help?

4. You're doing it wrong.
Line six shots up on the counter and knock 'em back as fast as you can one right after the other.

Pain will be gone soon. Of course you'll probably have a whole new pain to deal with tomorrow. :)
