I think I am coming down with a cold, I was thinking if I get really drunk will the alcohol content in my blood help kill the cold virus? I just don't have time to be sick.

If only it worked that way...
It actually backfires. Alcohol is hard on your immune system, so now your body is distracted with clearing out the alcohol when it should be focused on fighting the virus. Not good.
Also the alcohol will cause you to be dehydrated, which is the exact opposite of what you want to do for a cold.
If you are REALLY miserable and are just looking to drown out the pain and discomfort, 1 or 2 "hot toddies" (hot water, lemon, honey, and rum) might help the symptoms temporarily, but it won't make you get better any faster.
And if you were just joking around, disregard the aboveit's hard to tell sometimes.
Get better soon!



Eat a shitload of raw garlic, it works.




Dunno.In Russia they always say do a big shot of vodka with pepper and honey to help with a cold!
But do what's best for you and get better!





I am feeling a little better, last night I had a shot of Vodka, I am a lightweight so it kind of knocked me out and I was able to sleep.





It seems like a bad idea, but I do remember this one time in University I had the worst cold! Everyone was going out and I didn't want to miss out so went and got pissed drunk. (Only way I could make it through). I remember going to bed thinking I'd be worse the next day and when I woke up, my cold was gone! Completely gone! It was so weird. Most likely just a coincidence I assume though, but now I still go out if I'm sick LOL.





here's an old home remedy for colds from the 'north country' ...
Hot apple cider with a shot of JaegerMeister !










I do at least 2 shots of jaeger every night at work... hmmmm... I haven't been sick for months... interesting LOL





lol. i wish that logic worked. if you get drunk enough you might not notice that you are sick, but it wont actually kill the sickness.
coconut butter has been my saving grace lately for sickness. it has lots of lauric acid, which is the chemical found in breastmilk that helps babies not get sick. i am very prone to tonsillitis, so whenever i feel my throat start to hurt i eat a lot of coconut butter and i am fine.
The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.
Alcohol isn't great for colds, that's for sure, but if it helps you sleep then it might be healthier than not sleeping.
I like herbal tea w/ rose hips. This is high in vitamin c and everyone know vitamin c is good for the immune system. There has also been some research lately on Vitamin D, and its effect on the immune system, so you may want to pick up a bottle of vitamin d if you don't eat much dairy or don't get much natural sunlight.
Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!



It doesn't work for everybody but I have used it many times as a last resort and it has worked for me pretty good. The Jager bomb and Whiskey does the trick. Vodka and Orange Juice works also.





I take either aireborne or emergen c every day just to ward off the cold.
I've also been studying how having an alkaline body pH will prevent not only common germs from making you sick, but cancer can not form in an alkaline environment. Ironically this is what I talked about with a hedge fund manage/health guru last week for hours at Sapphires.
So go to the pharmacy and buy those pH strips....if your saliva or urine is acidic you are more prone to sickness.

If I have a cold and get real drunk, especially with vodka, my cold goeas away. It's awesome.




When I worked as a "Jaeger Girl', I was constantly getting colds working during the winters in San Francisco. My rep introduced me to goldschlagger (the little apparently 24K gold flecks in strong liquor). That stuff is stronger than Jaeger, but would ward off my cold.
I've felt one coming on for 2 weeks now. My main reg. custy has had one and my man has been sick. I've been doing emergency twice a day, sleeping more, got some miso and seaweed soup and have been adding veggies to it. Also, lots of green tea. At work, I have one glass of white wine and then keep the glass and refill it w/ tea. In the dark lights, nobody knows the diffference. I'm healthier for it and no hangovers![]()
