My Grandpa had a tablespoon of whiskey every morning in a glass with a teaspoon of sugar, a shot of Real Lemon and a shot of water. He said it was his "Starter." He had one each night before bed too. He said that one was his "Quiter." LOL Grandpa didn't drink any more than that---two carefully measured tablespoons of whiskey a day. He lived to be 86 yrs old. Grandma ate her Cheerios with sweetened coffee on them. I tried it once but only that one time---gag! This thread jogged that memory. But it took me clear back to their old kitchen table and I could even smell the fire in the wood cook stove.
