Fighting germs the fun way!
Twice in the past month I've felt a cold coming on, drank some barrel aged spirits and was magically healed.The first time was after a distributor gave me some really strong single malt scotch and rum (I wind up puking but my cold was gone).
Then yesterday my nose was running all day and I felt tired and gross, but JR and I made it to the Festival of Barrel Aged Beers anyway. A dozen tastes later, I was fine. And those were strong beers- some were like 13%, and tasted like chinese medicine. (Unrelatedly, putting your boobs on the beer tank is a super effective way to get quicker service from servers, but I didn't tell you that).
I've also noticed that I almost never get sick since I started drinking more frequently for my jobs. My question is- is it the antibacterial properties of the booze, or something in the barrels that knocked out my burgeoning colds?
(I'm sure that Snarky Nutritionist could counterpoint about how booze wrecks your liver and immune system, but I'm super pleased that I'm not sick today!!!)

I can't argue against anything that works!
I know red wine settles my stomach when I've had a rough commute and Dad's toddies helped last time I was sick.
Like Snarky, I can't argue with anything that works! A few drinks won't wreck your liver.
