OLE
MISS BY DAMN!
If you are from Mississippi you will immediately
recognize that chant as the famous Ole Miss cheer. If you are alumni these are probably the
first words your children say. But what
is a Hot Toddy? A hot toddy is a mixed
drink that usually contains alcohol and it is served warm, and usually includes
hot tea or apple cider. They are usually
drunk at night before bedtime in wet or cold weather. They were believed to cure the cold or flu. However, the American Lung Association
frowns on alcohol as a cure for colds because it causes dehydration.
