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 . . . . :lol: :lol:
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. :shock: ;)

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.

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

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.
