Let me get this straight. You had half a gallon of magical apple cider sloshing about in your lung and you STILL went to the gym? Serious bragging rights.

I can see this creeping into Harry's timeline in WW 3.1, just to show the young killers he's still tough 😂

Looks like flat beer. Pretty shocking but glad you're feeling better.

I assume this will now go on Ebay alongside Elvis' saliva. Lucrative business.

Wow. Shocking and amazing to this non-medical person. The interwebs suggest that half a litre of fluid is about 1/12 of your lung capacity. Amazing that your body wasn't working harder to cough it up. Also how ineffective coughing is, I suppose.
