#1 I have found this to be true in my own studies. People have called me crazy but it does work for me. I *assume* I simply sleep deeper when a bit loaded and deep sleep helps fight off the cold more than the booze damages my defenses.

They also say when you are happy all sorts of good things happen in your body. I'm a happy drunk. I'd be curious to see the effects on a fighting-type drunk.

#2 Works against venomous snake bites too (middle of the road, like rattlesnake, not sure about heavier caliber venom). 1/4 liter of 40 proof, on one take.

Don't get bitten too often! ;-)
