Battling a bout of the flu right now, curious to when I can get drunk (scheduled to on Weds.)...

Anyone have any experiences with this?

0 hrs.

One of the old flu remedies passed down to me by my father is:

Juice of 4 limes, 4 shots of tequila, mix, chug, go to sleep. Every so often I still do it. The theory is that it helps you "sweat" the flu out. Mexicans think of the damnest reasons to get drunk.

Uhh..as long as you aren't extremely ill, that is you don't have a really high fever and aren't throwing up all the time, there's nothing stopping you from drinking. The hangover might be a bit worse the next day though.

Well, I've puked twice today but feel a ton better now after having a cup of soup.

Just wanted people's opinions.
