Not sure but I know this:
- Drinking reduces immune responses
- Immune repsonses are responsible for cold symptoms
- Drinking increases blood flow
- The cold virus infects your upper respiratory sysem
- Alcohol from your blood ends up in the air you breath
- Alcohol disables the cold virus
- As soon as I feel symptoms coming on, I binge on whiskey. I would estimate 80% of the time I don't end up getting a cold.
- I haven't been able to find any reputable source to back up the link between alcohol and stopping the cold
- Vitamin C doesn't actually help
- Zinc, as soon as symptoms begin to appear does help
- If you're going to try it, spirits are your only hope. Anything weaker will just mess you up
