Beer as Cold Remedy....

Good afternoon beer luvvas!

Well, ASG has bad news.....after spending 5 days w/my coughing 9 yr old nephew - you guessed it - I'M SICK! (Reason #2489 for not having kids) The throat is scratchy, the flem is excessive, and the disposition is irritable. What does this have to do with hops and barley one might ask.

Contrary to popular opinon, beer should be one component of everyone's home cold remedy. After many years of study (mostly @ HMC) I've determined the perfect 48hr common cold cure all....

Step 1: Count back 9hrs from when the alarm will go off tomorrow morning. We all know that the best way to cure the common cold is to get enough sleep.
Step 2: Have a beer! One of the worst parts about having a cold is the irritable disposition which makes you (aka me) no fun to live with - just ask my wife - and two it's hard to fall asleep when you are in a bad mood.
Step 3: Take a shot of Nyquil!
Step 4: Hit the hey. If you can't get a good solid 8+ hrs of sleep after having a beer and a shot of nyquil - you don't have the common cold!

Repeat this process for 2 days, and you should be good to go for day 3!

Prost to beer providing positive energy against sore throats and nasal congestion!
