Contrary to popular belief, alcohol is not good for a cold. It will make you feel worse. A lot of sleep and a lot of water are two of the the best remedies for a cold. Chicken soup can also be helpful.

Doctors say that drinking alcohol lowers your immune system but my grandfather and I'm sure a-lot of older people used to use whiskey for colds and if you think about it some of the cough syrups have alcohol in them ...So I would say in moderation wouldn't hurt you!(only if your old enough to drink)

i suppose its okay but you will feel crappier the best thing to do when you have a cold is drink lots of liquids... unfortunaely alcohol isnt a very good choice since it dehydrates you

Whisky in that case in not good I suppose. If u have to drink anyhow then take rum or brandy with warm water.

It's probably not a good idea, but if you plan to, make sure it's something really potent, like straight Scotch, that's more likely to kill every micro-organism in site!

no, it's not a good idea. My dad got drunk while he had a cold and he went down to be worse then we thought.
