Really? There doesn't appear to be anything in it that would make you drowsy (or make you better :lol: - although one big slug of Vitamin C won't hurt and echinacea might perk up your immune system*). Worth a try as a hot drink I guess.

* it was said to be used to prevent colds, so maybe as an occasional booster too but not a daily thing with all that Vit C in.

It's amusing but also a bit of a swizz at £2.50 a shot (compared with about 40p for something with actual drugs in :D ).
