Just a pet peeve, I hate people that think drinking while sick is a good idea. Not only is it a bad idea to mix meds and booze but you are shooting your immune system in the foot by drinking your cold away.

I know iFX is joking and that one or two shots might help ease the pain a bit, but that being said I've met far too many people that think if they pound hot toddies all night it will get them over a cold fast by "killing the germs".

If you want to get over your cold faster go and buy some Emergen-C and drink one pack every four hours mixed in a tall glass of water with a glass plain water every two hours to flush out the crap, do that with some cold meds, good food and plenty of sleep and you should be back in shape after a few days.

Nyquil/Dayquil made me feel quite a bit better when I had a sinus infection...although it's not a long-term solution.

Edit: And mom knows best - get something with lots of Vitamin C. I think they make Dayquil + Vitamin C now.
