fyi: a shot of whiskey does NOT cure a cold - GoFuckYourself.com

Babagirls · 03-03-2006, 10:10 PM

i tried the "home remedy" of taking a shot of whiskey yesterday (im really sick)...24 hours later, i actually feel worse.

MYTH BUSTED!

instead, i have a docs appointment tomorrow to get some antibiodics.

Beejeebers · 03-03-2006, 10:11 PM

I heard it was 6 shots...

ry0t · 03-03-2006, 10:28 PM

Hope you feel better it sucks to be sick.

Sly · 03-03-2006, 10:30 PM

I don't think its straight whiskey. Its something like tea with whiskey and a little honey.

Sly · 03-03-2006, 10:31 PM

And yes I have had tried the shot of whiskey remedy as well and it doesn't work. It dries you out, which isn't something you want when you have a cold.

you need to take 2 - 5k mg before you get sick of vitamin c - haven't been sick in over 10+ years doing this method - when you feel the slightest hint of a scratchy throat or something - then hit the 'c' hard

Whiskey + Honey

if you don't do it right, you can't expect it to work now can you?

Whiskey works as long as you don't have the bird flu.

RRRED · 03-03-2006, 11:28 PM

Shoot, well when my 8 yr old wakes up I'll tell her that she can have orange juice next time.

I've never heard that whiskey cures a cold. But I've heard that it works wonders on a sore throat.

EdgeXXX · 03-03-2006, 11:47 PM

LMFAO

Ok, first, it's usually a shot (or shots) of warm whiskey; and it's not meant as a cure, it's meant as a treatment. It does one of two things (usually both), you either:

A.) get drunk enough to temporarily feel better (drunk)
or
B.) pass out and let the cold run it's course.

Don't think of it as a secret remedy... think of it as ancient NyQuil

P.S. Hope you feel better soon Babagirls
