Tried a friend's home COVID test last evening: Pour two fingers of Scotch into a glass and smell it.

If you can smell it, drink it. If you can taste it, you’re negative.

I did the test nine times and was negative each time.

I’m doing the test later today because this morning I woke up with a headache and feel like I’m coming down with something.

Should I be worried?

1. Dark Scotch humor...

Must be Highland Park Single Malt.

2. 🥃

3. Maybe you are pregnant.

Take out the scotch and take a pregnancy test

[Floyd R. Turbo]

4. Not likely! 😏🥃

18. We have no way of knowing...

what side effects these new variations of COVID may produce.

Then there's the vaccines themselves, changing your DNA and all.

And who knows what nefarious schemes Bill Gates is hatching.

Yes, everyone, this is.

24. Now I'm worried! 😰

5. You've come down with a hangover

[Floyd R. Turbo]

6. Impossible!🥃

7. Dang, I didn't even realize that was what I was doing last night! n/t

[Floyd R. Turbo]

8. Now you do! 🥃

10. All these years I've been testing for Covid and didn't know it!

Chalk it up to practicing for the real thing.
They say you can also use bourbon, but I wouldn't know.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

25. I'll let you know! 🥃

[patphil]

28. Almost exclusively Scotch and Irish whiskey

I used to drink Ezra Brooks when I lived in Shreveport, but I can't get it up here in New York.

[Lonestarblue]

11. I vote for the Scotch test every time!

Single malt please.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

26. Cheers! 🥃

12. Brilliant! Thanks for the laugh!

13. If you can't smell it, drink anyways

You need to generate your cure.

Beer, and coffee (for the tea totalers) works too.

14. What a good friend to share their home tests

Maybe some hair of the dog to get over what ails you this morning?

[multigraincracker]

15. I'm allergic scotch,

I brake out in handcuffs.

[SergeStorms]

19. 👍

Good one. 👍

Thanks so much!

20. Your test has about the same false-negative rate as an actual OTC home test.

21. Only if you liver rejects you.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

33. My doc told me I have a fatty liver, so I'm exercising it!🥃

[momta]

22. Interesting. The test works with tequila, too!

And if you add some lime juice and Triple Sec (for medicinal purposes, of course) it works even better.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

34. 🥃🍈🧂

[BobTheSubgenius]

23. There is definitely a dire possibility that you will run out of Scotch.

That would be worrisome, I think.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

35. Then I go to bourbon! 🥃

[BobTheSubgenius]

36. Wow! A viable backup plan.

You are no dilettante, sir!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

37. 🤗

38. at what point do you drink your own pee?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

39. When it's a choice between my piss and Night Train!
