A discovery Last night, I made another amazing alcohol-related medical discovery: a glass of white wine completely wiped out my menstrual cramps. (I promise not to talk about menstruation too much more.) Must be that muscle-relaxant thing. Can I get a grant to study it? (My other amazing alcohol-related medical discoveries: red wine is darned good for sore throats, and the best thing in the world for colds is my personal recipe for hot spiked lemonade.) I'll get out of that parenthesis and provide said recipe: Put 1 tbsp. each honey, lemon juice, sugar (white or brown), and rum (light or dark) in a mug. Fill with hot water. Garnish with cinnamon and/or nutmeg, if you feel like it.It clears congestion, soothes sore throats, and generally makes you feel about as good as you can, considering that you have a cold. While I'm talking about alcohol, here is my Handy-Dandy Super-Duper Surefire Hangover Preventer: For every shot of liquor, glass of wine, or bottle/can of beer, consume a full 8-oz. (or more) glass of water. Yes, you have to get up and pee a lot, but that beats having a hangover. [ at 1:39 PM • by Abby • permalink • ] |
