Neat Whiskey

My theory is if I drink enough to get me fairly drunk it has two effects

1 I'm too pissed to care how I feel
2 If there's enough alcohol to send me to sleep, it's enough to kill off those little flu bugs.

Yeh I'm with Mike . . . .
Also Cold and Flu tabs for me - as soon as I even suspect any symptoms of the flu I'm into em - you can never take enough drugs.

agreed shots are your friend on this one. Also it starts about the same if not better than Demozin

I don't bother taking cold and flu tablets - placebo effect if you ask me.

Take a cup of boiling water, add the juice of half a lemon and a good dose of honey. Add a decent shot of Scotch, stir and you're away! Then drink plenty of water and get some rest.

Try a fist full of med certificates and a shelf full of DVDS!

The ones that send you to sleep are great! Nothing better than a good sleep when you're crook.

I will subscribe to this theory tonight...

I'm sick and have a bottle of scotch with my name on it...

Thanks all, it's in my chest today... i think my neighbours wish i would just pass on already - how embarressing they text me to see if there was anything they could get for me - That got me stuck into the honey/lemon/soctch today..
aardvark your an ...soothes the throat and if you have enough it clears the head ....but im out of scotch now (the bottle had already been cracked...true it had.. )

Now im curled up on the couch with with a turkey (the beverage type ) and just had some night time cold and flu... so excuse me if i drop off..

Thanks again..

Old Yugoslavian remedy passed down from generation to generation - in my opinion it's the best sore throat remedy on the market! Just remember to follow it up with plenty of water to help you keep your hydration levels up.

im weighing up getting a flu shot, i might get one on thursday or so (day before i go back to work), if i get it at all

*still weighing it up*
