To hope your body can't do two things at once?

Awful head cold,aching and eyes feel like piss holes in the snow.
I'm having a bottle of wine as if I'm drunk then surely I can't feel poorly too so it will take over and the poorlyness will be gone?..🤞🤞🤞😣

Sounds like the fuzzy logic I'd buy into.

That is utterly brilliant

I'll report back

Love your thinking

I used this logic 2 weeks ago when I caught covid and self medicated with several large hot toddies (tho I didn't fuck about with lemon and honey or heat...so basically I had loads of whisky).
Sorry to say my logic was in face flawed and I have never felt so shit in my life but you can always have another bottle of wine tomorrow to perk you up

Yep.
Always my go to solution for all ills.
Even if it doesn't work, you care a bit less so that's a win anyway.

Brilliant thinking. Bonkers, but brilliant

I've never felt hungover when I've got a cold. The cold is always horrendous but I never get the hangover bit!

Let's face it, you've got nothing to lose.

It’s a well known fact that booze temporarily reduces the effects of a cold. Medicinal, innit.

Doing exactly rhe same here. The dehydration dries up the snot!! Gonna have a headache tomorrow anyway 🙃

Sadly OP, the physiology is against you but, your call.
Get well soon.

I think copious amounts of alcohol should be available on prescription

You've inspired me to open a bottle to get rid of this awful cold

I can testify that this does in fact work, albeit temporarily.

Sounds like a great plan if you want to feel twice as sick

I've definitely puked, sneezed and had diarrhoea at the same time. And I may have blinked too. And breathed.

2 glasses in and we have progress

Haha - missed the point! Sorry!

Alcohol kills germs :)

If it's red wine, that's supposed to have mild anti-viral properties!

Eeeh, well - you'll know to get red next time

I get migraines from maltesers. I adore maltesers. When I got past 6 months pregnant I no longer had my weekly migraines so thought Id take advantage of that and have a packet of maltesers. Unfortunately you can be more than 6 months pregnant AND have a migraine

So I think your logic may be flawed like mine.

When I had Covid I drank whisky every night, can't say it made me feel any worse but then I didn't really feel ill anyway, it did seem to get rid of the headache. DH had a lot of whisky and barely noticed the covid.
DH has a streamer of a cold at the moment and we're having a very hot chilli, garlic bread with extra extra garlic added and red wine. Hopefully it will cure him and prevent me getting it.
