A colleague here at work swears that the only way to cure a cold is through drinking one bottle of whisky, but i would not recommend that cure.Sure,I am certain that after one bottle of whisky you will not think about your cold anymore,but I am equal certain the next day you will prefer the cold over the hangover.I would say that the only cure for cold is time,้hot tea and plenty of Fisherman"s Friends (throat lozenges).
