I was at the doctor’s this morning getting some meds to kill the Strep throat I received as a gift from my generous daughter on Friday.
I felt sick all weekend, but couldn’t get in to the doc until this morning, so in my moment of blech i turned to my wife and the amish cure for a sore throat that she swears by.
She’s been trying to get me to drink vinegar for a sore throat for a while now, but seeing as how I think vinegar is most vile liquid on earth, I have always resisted.
Well, on Friday night I was feeling so awful, that I gave in. One on condition though…it had to be taped. If I was going to drink down a shot of nasty acid, I at least wanted to get a blog post out of it.
Without further ado, here’s my attempt at drinking vinegar. Emphasis on “attempt”.
Enjoy.

My wife is obsessed with Apple Cider Vinegar. She takes it all the time and recommends it every time I have just about any ailment. I’ve been pretty resistent to it but she started mixing it with hot water, honey and lemon juice and it hasn’t been so bad.
What’s wrong with you… How could you not go for the block-your-nose routine?
How exactly do you know what boiling raccoon pee tastes like? Hmmm…and I love the way Erica keeps her pinky finger up while she drinks the vinegar (so cute). Next time you start feeling a sore throat gargle warm salt water (always works for me and not nearly as gross as vinegar). Hope you’re feeling better.
that is the most amazing video you have posted yet!! Totally a mind over matter thing.. but that was ridiculously funny Bry! I agree with Than on the block your nose routine
i thought i was going to man-up and just guzzle it like it was my job. had no idea it would be that bad. i think if i was expecting it to be so bad, i would have blocked my nose and might have got it down. but it totally owned me.
I will not be showing this video to my boss in efforts to assure him how awesome of a speaker you will be since you brought more drama in this video than a high school girl does when her best friend steals her boyfriend.
until i see a video of you drinking vinegar, you are not allowed to razz me for the drama.
Is that a challenge?
hey i’ll put it out to anyone. you want to drink vinegar? be my guest. do it without blocking your nose and yeah, i’ll give you props for that.
I think he just called you out, Aleeeeeeeeesa.
Yuck. I would have reacted similarly had I convinced myself to drink vinegar (I’d probably add some gut-clenching-while-turning-around-in-circles). However, I hope I don’t ever end up in such dire straits that I’d be able to convince myself that drinking vinegar is a good idea. And…blocking your nose SO doesn’t work.
Sarah, thanks for keeping it real!
Two words: 1) Drama 2) Queen…and I am not talking about the wife!
Your wife is pretty tough, down the hatch w/ her pinky up! love it! Just stick w/ the meds your doc gave you. I am pretty sure no racoon pee was used in making your antibiotic!
i’m glad to see/hear of another loving wife who feels no shame n laughing at her husband when he is being a big baby…i’m with buddy. thanks for the good time tho.
I’m imagining it was as bad as the colonoscopy prep liquid. That ruined apple juice for life for me. And what exactly is Erica using as a chaser there? Maybe you should have tried a quick tequila or 151 chaser? At least it could have helped you forget the whole thing.
That's what being a man is all about; putting yourself through some unnecessary pain to gain momentary relief from the real thing.
Haha! Everyone’s always thought I was weird for drinking vinager, but ever since I was little I would put it in a bowl and drink it. I crave it sometimes. LOL mmmm
