From the photo, it looks like Margarite was getting choked, anyhow, it probably pays to have a jar or two handy of the "Irish Creature".

God Bless her. Reminds me of my own Irish grandmother who, while not a drinker, swore by the healing effects of Jamesons Irish whiskey. In the winter months she'd have a shot in the evening to ward off flus, colds and pneumonia..and she lived to the ripe old age of 89. I'm not a drinker either but I think I'll purchase some Jamesons to have on hand for the upcoming winter.

Whiskey cured my gout. Must be the universal serum for those with Irish genes.
