I have a headache from congestion. It's so bad I can feel it pressing against the nerves of my teeth.

I wish I had whisky.

Technically, I suppose I do, but it's Bruichladdich, and you don't just slosh four or five ounces of that into a glass.

I wonder if coffee ice cream would help.

I feel your pain, or I did about 4 weeks ago. Try a sock filled with rice, microwave it for about 45 seconds or a minute. Shouldn't any spirit work... I'm sure Everclear might, and the name's appropriate. :)

We don't have a microwave. You're right about Everclear being appropriate.

ice cream helps anything!
ben n jerry's coffee heath crunch makes it even better.

Ice cream is almost always overrated. I do have some Häagen-Dazs carmelized pear & toasted pecan.

I've gone with four ibuprofin and half a glass of Sailor Jerry navy rum.

Stuff with lots of sugar in is typically a pretty bad idea for congestion (ice cream doubly so since it's also cold).

What if I add ground cinnamon and sliced bananas?

You'll get a delicious, tasty dessert! (That's still likely to make your congestion worse.)

Oh, you're no fun!

At my house, it's hot sauce all the way for these types of situations. A hot shower, followed by as much hot sauce as you can stand, will go a long way. Also, I've been experimenting with a home-brewed... thing... made with tea, wine, rum, honey (for the sore throats), oranges, cloves, cinnamon, allspice, and crushed red peppers. Is tasty. ^_^

Yes, hot sauce is good! Sometimes I just pour a juice glass full of one of the milder ones - Valentina, Crystal, that kind of thing - and drink it like V8.
