One margarita, with mucho salt. I used cheap tequila, not the good stuff. Gargled a bit warm and then iced the rest and drank it;. Not better yet.

How oiften do I need to gargle? Should i try another in a half hour or so?

Thanks.

Screw gargling, just pound the tequila down until you pass out.

I tried that with the rum-and-sugar last nite and woke up with an even worse sore throat. As per advice here, I figured I'd at least try gargling a bit of the salty beverage.

Yum and mellow, but damned throat still hurts worse than closing the automatic car window closer on my hand while thoughtlessly holding on to the top of the window. Which I hope nobody has ever done.

water as hot as you can handle it, and some honey... and a shot of robitussin before you go to bed

Gargling hot salt water is good. drinking a hot toddie is better.

UPDATE: gargling with warm margaritas did NOT help with the sore throat, throat is worse than ever. Margaritas were yummy though.

I may have to try medicine, once the alcohol clears my system - don't want to mix booze and meds.

Thanx for the suggestions.

Green Tea with a spoonful of Honey in it. Drink itbefore going to bed... Should lessen the sore itself.

Old country remedy: Buy a whole ginger root from the store. Slice off a small cookie sized piece from the center. Suck on it. The flavor is kind of strong, but it works.
