Best alcohol to drink when you have a cold
When I say best, I mean which drink is going to make you feel the least crap tomorrow?
A beer hangover makes you want to die the next day if you have a cold as well, so the obvious choice is to drink spirits. But which ones? Is there some fantastic way of cheating a cold and drinking when you've got one?

brandy or whisky.
with what mixer?
I'm not so into drinking spirits neat when out
I simply MUST
have a mixer. Thats a good suggestion though. Whisky and ginger ale, its on
Vodka with vitamin rich mixers
not much of a vodka fan
sorry. Any other suggestions? I sound very fussy so far in this thread. I'm not really
Fuck me!
How about Jagermeister or Ferna Branca(sp?) or any of those herby boozes.
Good for the digestion too according to my kraut mother.
I'll do no such thing!
As for the drink, sounds great, I love Jagermeister. Not tried Ferna Branca before though, what is it?
My digestion is A-OK just as it is though, thanks
Dunno
if I go round me Mam's she always pulls out some sort of digestion/herby drink after dinner. I love Jagermeister but the rest are pretty revolting.
brandy mixed with night nurse with a lemsip on chaser
that sounds like it'd make me pass out quite quickly
so far your suggestion is winning
For a cold: hot lempsip, small amount of honey & brandy.
also - sex and paracetamol.
a hot toddie
I do believe they're called. Has sex and paracetamol been through clinical trials?
nah but it's what a doctor friend recommends
Vodka
whiskey
ruined my combining it with any form of fruit juice. Alternatively, keep having whiskey straight or with a different mixer and just take vitamin supplements. Get yourself some echinacea.
"Can I have a gin and echinacea please?"
"Sure, man. Ice and a slice?"
Ha ha!
lizzy how many bars have you been to that serve echinacea?! Also, it sounds like a 1920 cruise liner
you can get this
in some nu-age hippy bars*
*might not strictly be true...I may just be making assumptions here..
oklahoma
probably put it in their teas. Lousy beatniks. If only Holland & Barratt had a cocktail bar, eh...
Earth
their cakes put Oklahoma to shame.
hell of queueing involved
whenever i've been to Earth before. Good food though. Its the Axis Of Ethical on that street
I've never queued
I love them. I asked if they maybe had any work going (purely so I could get food) and they said that they employ about 90% of staff from the Buddhist community. I reckon they have 10 members of staff and the 1 who isn't Buddhist is only there so they don't get fucked for discrimination.Hmph.
You must go to some very very strange bars
Bourbon and ginger
american badass
the Kid Rock of drinks?
Sold
sailor jerrys (vanilla rum) and ginger ale
or jim beam (black) and coke
or zubrowka and apple juice
Sailor Jerrys
is absolutely delicious. Not tried it with ginger ale though. Same goes for zubrowka and apple juice. Good suggestions
you have to do sailor jerrys and ginger ale! amazing
i would have never known it was such a superb combo if i hadn't been shouted at for "spoiling" sailor jerrys with coke when i ordered one at weatherspoons.
I've never even heard of Tullamore Dew
what is it exactly? I'm guesing its not literally bottled dew from Tullamore
its really great
irish whiskey
p.s wikipedia just helped with the Dew bit:
"The name derives from the initials of an early owner, Daniel E Williams - D.E.W"
Gin and Ginger Beer
Gin stops me getting hangovers as well. What can't gin do?
really?
everyone i know gets the worst hangovers in the world from gin, me included
True
Same with my friends. It's magical properties only seem to work for me. Cause I'm great or something.
