As long as it is use for medical purposes we old folks ain't against
it. BUT NOT FOR PLEASURE.
My great grandmother use to swear on the efficiency of "Lydia Pinkins"
for her "female troubles", She was also a teetotaler, never drank.
But Lydia was a snake oil medicine having as a main active ingredient,
30% alcohol. It worked alright and made her feel better.

You mean Lydia E. Pinkham.
