fun with cold remedies
After dodging them all winter, I somehow caught a cold this week, in glorious 24°C spring weather. Kinda like the time I enjoyed a perfectly healthy February in Japan, then promptly caught a cold upon my return to L.A.
Since mixing meds and alcohol is just stupid, tonight I did what any self-respecting student would do on a Wednesday night: I decided to forgo the Nyquil in favor of cheap pinot. Same end result, right? Well, not quite.
Evidently wine can stop up irritated sinuses instantly and completely, though thankfully not for long. I'm sure there's a simple explanation that someone like skuldchan or jedifreac or wikipedia would know, but it was news to me.
Moral of the story: Don't drink while sick. It's a waste of perfectly good liquor.
