Just got over a horrible cold. I was drinking spiced cider and crown. Don't know if it helped, but sure as heck didn't hurt.

Ha! Wife's friend just stopped by with a concoction of whiskey, lemon juice, honey, apple cider maybe. Pretty tasty if nothing else!

I've found that gargling with whisky when you feel a cold or flu coming on nips it in the bud.....you can even swallow a bit, ha, ha.

If you suck on a penny, you benefit from the zinc boosting your immune system and you can stump the breathylyzer too.

I can’t say it technically helps, but I will attest that bourbon will improve one’s outlook on the situation.

I drink if I feel like I am getting a cold or flu. A cup of hot tea, lemon, and a shot of whiskey. My mom was big on this and I have been doing it since I was a little kid.
Does it work? Not really but it makes you feel okay for a time.

Coke Classic and chicken noodle soup broth. Not at the same time. Yeah, you should definitely stay hydrated. Not alcohol, though.

Hot whiskey with a head cold... Anytime I get to feeling a cold or bug coming on I pound the hot toddies. Half or little less a coffee cup of water, hot enough to dissolve a big heaping teaspoon of honey, a good long squirt of lemon juice and fill to the brim with Wild Turkey. Honestly seems to help. Yep. But I steep some green tea in the water. And use Jack.

*neither statement has been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration Reminds me of the good old days of cops showing up at high school parties and everyone scrambling for pennies. I would just run out the back door!

No. Other than a glass of wine at certain social events, I don't drink. Seems a few drinks would help one sleep, so there is that.

If alcohol is used to disinfect on the exterior, reason would suggest it works on the interior.

no fun to do anything fun when you're sick, including having an adult beverage
