Those who get the Flu shot every year, think the same thing. “I feel like shit. That means it’s working.”

Name a better tonic! Here where I live we drink the most per capita Angostura Bitters in the world. Our one grocery sells quart bottles of Angostura.

Nelsen’s Hall and Bitters Club on Washington Island, located on Wisconsin’s side of Lake Michigan, has been pouring Angostura shots by the ounce since 1920. As with so many odd drinking traditions, the practice began as a means of circumventing Prohibition.
That's the most random factoid I've heard this year. Love it.
Nothing random about it if you live here. Not much else to do but study and drink. Underage drinking is our major crime, with less than a hundred in our one roof schoolhouse, the smallest school district in the state.
Random as Angostura. I've had the same 5 oz bottle in my bar for 5 years. Can't imagine what I'd do with a 1 qt bottle of it.
Take a shot, you won’t forget. It is peppery and I think that the major flavor is gentian.

“ The largest purveyor of Angostura bitters in the world is Nelsen's Hall Bitters Pub on Washington Island off the northeast tip of Door Peninsula in Door County, Wisconsin. The pub began selling shots of bitters as a "stomach tonic for medicinal purposes" under a pharmaceutical license during Prohibition in the United States. The practice, which helped the pub to become the oldest continuously operating tavern in Wisconsin, remained a tradition after the repeal of Prohibition. As of 2018, the pub hosts a Bitters Club, incorporates bitters into food menu items, and sells upwards of 10,000 shots per year.

Oh, and Fresh Lawyers are a local delicacy.. Whitefish fisherman’s bycatch, bottom feeders, with their ‘heart’ right next to their anus. “Poor man’s lobster.”
