Nothing that a little pluck wouldn’t remedy

Old Crow?

How about a skillet upside the head, that will knock them down, and out.

Some Georgia moonshine. It will relax you and clean up your whole digestive system at the same time too. Also good for rust removal. And drain cleaning. Will also boost your car’s engine performance.

Rusty Nail is a nice chiller for the hackles.

Johnny Walker Black.

Is that the same paper that he works for?

No, but everything here can turn your stomach and raise your cholesterol. Pick your poison.

Wild Turkey?

What’s a hackle?

Now don’t get your feathers ruffled.

Bourbon

Quantity, not Quality…

Roz has all kinds of stuff — some of it even edible.

Maybe some nice warm milk. (With an optional shot of something)

Ignore those jackals.

Bird lack hackles, but things can ruffle their feathers. Some whiskeys and whiskys are coming in 86 proof, versus the old 80 proof, which might pluck a bird’s feathers.

Whiskey barkeep!

I believe it should say “have A drink”

Whiskey!

Chocolate milkshake!

How about the ‘hair of the dog’.

Tanqueray gin with tonic water and a wedge of lime
