Hey, I didn't have a choice with that one...I woke up yesterday with a bit of a sore throat. Today, I had to leave work early (I planned to, anyway, to make the party I went to) because I couldn't speak anymore.

Damn, bennies kick in in less than a month...why do I have to get sick now? :|

I don't know if alcohol has any direct affect on colds, but the indirect can cause problems.

Usually when you are drinking you are staying up late, smoking, eating unhealthy food, and most importantly, dehydrating yourself. You also get very poor sleep prohibiting the bodies chance to repair it's immune system.

If you are sick, I would really recommend not to do it.

But, it seems to late now.

Let's just say the effect is not something that is desired :(

I will never drink again.
