How bad is drinking for you when youre sick?
 

when ive got the flu like i do now, i like to just get drunk and ignore it

am i shooting myself in the foot?

When you have the flu you need to stay well hydrated. Drinking can dehydrate you.

yup, drink plenty of water.

hieneken can cure anything. i pour it on cuts and scrapes also

Yet, a good double shot of tequila seems to really knock the shit out of a cold.


just guzzle some water after it.

Unless its your liver that's bothering alcohol will only make things better :1orglaugh

try having a hot tottie!!! that'll knock the crap outta your cold:thumbsup

Agreed!

use whisky it will clean it up much nicer, and then you can chase it with the heinY

:glugglug

mmmmmmmmmm


im on it

when i caught mono a couple years ago i for some reason decided to go to the strippers for ym friends bday,

i barely made it there, ordered a beer and had a few sips and felt like my insides were melting. then proceeded to fall asleep.

so the answer is no, probly not good at all. rest cures everything.

well thats another reason to drink
im an insomniac and cant sleep without a pill or a few drinks

lol i drink tons also.
but if u ever catch mono, do not drink! u can die from a lil liqour, ur liver is already working in overdrive.

That's right Jim. When in doubt, drink.:thumbsup

last week , I had a flu of some sort , couldnt decide whether intoxicating myself in my choosen manner would be a good idea or if I'd end up puking like a maniac all day .

, but I did . and I FELT great .

Go for it . but if you blow chunks all over and have a bad night don't blame me LOL .. my stomach can take it .

so heres what we have so far:

#1 fuck it, drink
#2 chase your whiskey with water instead of beer so you stay hydrated
#3 no titty bars or you die from mono


what else?

It it is a cold, I don't mind dinking at all. I am not so good with it when I am dizzy or running a high fever though.

Getting dizzy is half the fun of drinking. When the world starts a-spinnin', I starts a grin-in' :D

alcohol dehydrates the body, not a good idea

heiny is skunky beer

alcohol makes any medicine you take useless, antibiotics etc are rendered useless.

otherwise being sick is all in your head.

common cold is not real, only for people with weak wills.

psychosomatic

I take a shot of whiskey before bed when I have a cold/sore throat. Nyquil is just alcohol, right?

I thought I had mono for about a year, but it turned out I was just really bored. :helpme

Wayne is that you?

Well, it's a waste of money to take antibiotics if you are going to drink, like Fletch said.

On the other hand, my granny used to cook us up a toddy of Jack Daniels, honey and lemon juice when we had a sore throat or a cold. Then she'd stick us in bed under a shitload of blankets and make us 'sweat it out'.

I didnt care too much for being sick at her house lol.
