Drown a Cold

Look, I've got the next best thing to a sinus infection. So I'm thinking tequila. Is that the right direction?

Starve a cold, you plumski.

Although Mum used to swear by whiskey with half a lemon squeezed into it. Probably so grim you forgot you had a cold.

Recently watched an episode of Red Dwarf (Backwards) where they think they are in Romania so just talk English and add -ski to the end of words. It's catching.

Why tequila, Griff? Are you thinking it will kill the infection?

Maybe if you snort it...

I simply like booze.

I've seen the snortski. Not pretty. Not my bag, baby.

My brother (very straight laced and conservative) once snorted tequila on a bucks night.

He was very sorry he'd done it the next day.

I bet he didn't have any germs up his nose, though!

Steaming hot Theraflu has the same effect as booze, plus it has a decongestant. I've been on it off and on for several days now; it's fantastic.

What's the active ingredient? Seems like I had a bad go on theraflu once...
