Welcome vj99, Reviving Ophelia and Eliasson.
@Jobei, I used to drink when I was sick too. Whisky was my cold cure...it never worked but gave me an excuse to keep drinking.
Does anyone else still feel a bit hungover when they wake up? For the last week or so I've woke with a bad head, really thirsty, and in the usual confusion of waking up I have to check my memory to make sure I didn't drink the night before. I guess this happens to normal sober people too
