I’m 4 illnesses out of my last 5 flights. Flu twice, despite getting vaxed. The last one was a sinus infection so bad I’m afraid to fly again.

Previous doctor was just like “was your hands more”, so he’s fired. New doctor has a plan where I take supplements and some asthma steroids before travel and wear a mask through the flight.

Medically, a couple dashes of bitters is irrelevant. But people often don’t drink for philosophical, religious, or recovery reasons. For these people, zero means zero.

Non alcoholic bitters are available. They’re made with a glycerin base.
