I've got a nasty Allergy-Induced Headache. Using Alcohol to 'cure' it

[Taverner]

And it's working :)

1. Hey...

Whatever works. :) :thumbsup:

2. Drink lots of water though

Otherwise, you are going to have a REALLY bad headache soon--btw..Caffeine is actually better for headaches..it helps the blood vessels expand and you don't have to worry about a hangover...

4. I just got done with a workout where I drank 1 gallon

I should be OK on water...but thanks!

3. we often overlook the good that ETOH

can do

[Taverner]

5. Ahh yes ETOH is a great chemical compound!

Especially when it involves malt and hops!

7. Alcohol's a surprisingly effective analgesic!

Granted, my doctor would yell at me for using alcohol that way, citing the side effects, but some people drink alcohol specifically for those side effects...

I've learned this myself when hobbling on crutches and nursing a foot with a sprained ankle and a painfully messed up peroneal tendon...

Personally, I recommend drinking a Zombie. Has 4 shots of rum in it, starts off tasting like gasoline because of the Bacardi 151 floated on top, ends up tasting like Hawaiian Punch, you don't even know you're getting totally hammered until you try to stand up and realize you can no longer feel your legs...

8. I'll stick to craft IPA's myself

My drink of choice is either the India Pale Ale or the Imperial India Pale Ale. All hops, a lot of alcohol and a grassy, dank, cannabis flavor to it.

:thumbsup:

10. I'll take a good porter or stout.

The beer that eats like a meal...

[Taverner]

11. Aye there are some good stouts and porters

Oregon Trail Bourbon Porter
North Coast Old Rasputin Stout
Great Divide Yeti and Aged Yeti

And there are many, many, many more :)

Loves me a good hair-on-yer-balls stout!

9. Beer makes me congested.

One of the reasons I don't drink it much.
