I need more data points.

Based on empirical evidence, it seems that 355 ml of Guinness Extra Stout is a better cough suppressant than the combination of 10 mg Dextromethophan Hydrobromide and 200 mg Benzonatate (generic for "Tessalon").

Further research is required.


On a related note, has anyone else ever noticed that many pharmaceutical names sound like characters from fantasy or science fiction? Didn't the 6th Doctor fight the "Lovaza" on the planet "Tessalon"? Wasn't "Fioranol" the cousin of Legolas?

Stouts nice but Badgers Poachers Choice is better....

Have you tried "Dragon Stout"? That stuff tastes medicinal....

Breakfast Stout.

Chocolate oatmeal double-stout beer nourishes and warms both mother and child.
