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?

absolutely. either that or whiskey

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.

plumski, he he me like. I will effort the use of that term.

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.
Griff • Nov 16, 2007 7:27 pm
What's the active ingredient? Seems like I had a bad go on theraflu once...
bluecuracao • Nov 16, 2007 7:51 pm
This one's for cough and cold...Dextrometho hydro something...phenirablahblahblah...and Phenylephrine hydrochloride as a decongestant. The one for flu makes me feel too freaky.

Nyquil is my cold medicine of choice. But only when I'm really sick, 'cause it's strong.

Peppermint schnapps is the only true cure for what you have. In addition schnapps works better than cough medicine when you have a cold and it's far cheaper, better tasting and makes a fine mouthwash.

Skittles make great cough drops, btw.
