After finishing more than 3/4 of my cough medicine, i looked at the beer bottle bottle of cough mixture for the first time yesterday. I began to wonder why the label on the bottle had so much fine print. I gave up trying to find the alcohol percentage after awhile. Instead it read "Two 5ml spoons, three times daily. Take after food.".

Considering that i took the medicine just before i slept, i think i followed the "take after food" part of the instruction quite nicely. The only problem was with "Two 5ml spoons". I had absolutely no idea what 5ml spoons look like. So what i did was to fill up a shot glass of cough mixture and swallowed it.

Somehow, i get the feeling that two 5ml spoonfuls does not make a shot. Maybe that explains why i've finished 3/4 of my cough medicine when i've taken it only three times.
