I enjoy a good whisky as much as the next guy (and rum, tequila, gin, and brandy, but usually only one at a time. . .) but as a preventative for swine flu? I'm not so sure.

One of the cool things I learned about New Zealand when I was there is that there is an active and legal home distilling hobby. Actually, when I was in Eastern Tennessee I learned that there is an active home distilling hobby there too, but somewhat less legal. . .
