Was ist denn Klosterfrau? Ich sage immer dass Cognac ist das beste fúr alle Krankheiten. Leider kann ich es nicht mehr trinken smiley - injured aber whisky ist fast so gut!!!

What's 'Klosterfrau'? I always say that brandy is the best thing for any illness. Unfortunately I can't drink it any more, but whisky is nearly as good!

Hoeffentlich wirst du bald besser fúhlen. I hope you'll soon feel better.

Wenn du mich fragst sollte man auch keinen Schnaps einfach so trinken!

If you ask me, you shouldn't drink schnapps 'just so', either.

I think it's *really* used medicinally, isn't it? In the case of most kinds of alcohol people would just like to believe that it is. smiley - winkeye
