Anything in this?

[Chesney Christ 1]

I might be slightly barking, but I think I have found the miracle cure for colds.

On Friday at work I started to feel a bit rough and by the evening I could tell I had the beginnings of a cold that would last 4 or 5 days. Great. It got worse and I was feeling fairly shite on Saturday evening after playing football. I even asked to be subbed in my football game because I was feeling so ropey.

But as it was Saturday night I thought "I'll be damned if this stops me going out tonight" so I went to the pub and ended up getting UTTERLY slaughtered. Woke up yesterday morning and other than a slight hangover I felt fine. No cold. Today, I feel totally fine.

So, the miracle cure for hangovers is: shitloads of alchohol. You heard it first.

Alcohol is AMAZING. How come you can never get COLD when you're drunk ? I walked home from the Romans yesterday afternoon with no jacket, slightly pickled from the real ales I'd been sampling from the beer festival. By rights I should've been shaking like a parky, but I arrived home 15-20 minutes later with nothing worse than a couple of rosey cheeks, and a winning smile.

Dunno. I'll just bow to your superior knowledge, and continue to enjoy the aftereffects and its benefits.

Be warned Easy. We may feel warm from the blood rushing to our skin, but our body is actually losing heat faster, bringing about an increased danger of hypothermia

Obvious answer is to be continously be pissed

Furthermore, a Pharmacist once told me that a sure-fire cure for a hangover is to take a few 'Beecham's Flu tablets'; so there is some sort of relation to booze and colds.

Important safety tip. Don't cross the streams. Gotcha.

The truth

edited: The research reported in the American Journal of Epidemiology, revealed that men and women who drank more than 14 glasses each week had a 40% reduction in colds compared with people who did not drink. The association was stronger for red wine and the same findings were not true for people consuming other alcoholic beverages.

what's the point of that then!

 

[zefarelly]

I had a few glasses of winer and a few beers last night . . ..no sign of a cold whatsoever.

anyone got a cure for hangovers ?

 

[Les Biehn]

I had a simlar experience once. Despite a terrible cold i went for a vindaloo and numerous pints and shorts. The next day I was right as rain and didn't even really have a hangover. I was however worshiping the porcelain gods for much of the day.

Alchohol is the cause and the cure to all of lives problems!!!!!

 

[Wardy]

I have a sign that says......

Alchohol is the answer, if only I could remember the question.

Alcohol might well be preventing cold virus or bacteria from managing to live within your veins.
However, a good hot curry would probably have a similar effect.

 

[Easy 10]

But you can't become instantly more attractive to the opposite sex, or suddenly develop an incredible singing voice on hot curry. Can you.

Ive always said getting hammered is the answer to being ill. I reckon it gives your body something else to think about so the illness gets bored and fucks off elsewhere!!
