    2 cups boiling water(amount of water used depends on mug size, we use large thick mugs for heat retention, about 16oz I think)

    favorite tea(we prefer celestial seasonings sleepy time)

    1 shot of favorite bourbon(we prefer Bulliet Rye)

    honey - 2-3 teaspoons to taste(if more sweet needed use sugar, too much honey throws off the menthol)

    lemon or lime juice - minimum 1/2 teaspoon(I don't like the citrus to overpower the tea, but many people use full teaspoon)

    preheat mug(hot water from tap or boil extra water and preheat with it), add all ingredients except water and let sit for couple minutes to preheat, add water, stir well

    Toddy is ready. Grab favorite wooby(pillow, blanket, pet, AR, Glock, whatever you like to snuggle, do not however, use wife unless she is already sick, you will be blamed for infecting her) and retire to comfy chair or bed. Keep mug near your face and breath in the steam til it cools enough to drink. Sip it but don't let it cool. Adjust recipe to taste but keep minimums.

    The whiskey, citrus and honey give a menthol type effect and the steam helps carry it in. Whiskey heated contributes to pain relief, relaxation and sleep. Tea is soothing and contributes to relaxation and sleep.

    Two toddy's and a dose of Nyquil are my own personal regime.

    I think most families have this sort of recipe, this is our version for at least the last four generations and we swear by it.
    Two fingers of jack in a highball glass, couple hard pulls on a bottle of green syrup, and an Ambien works for me.

    Dang, that doesn't sound good! For what its worth, my dad had his knee replaced a few years ago and was walking around a few days later, and about a year later he got back into ironman triathlons and finished his first full one after the knee replacement.

    Ambien is a better defense then alcohol, If needed of course.

    I think my dad is waiting until he's just old enough that the replacement will last him the rest of his life. I'm trying to convince him when it wears out in 20 years, he'll be in his late 80s and it wont matter anyway...
