Drinking and being sick

[hablur]

Stupidity abounds!!!!

How many of us drank while hacing a cold or not feeling so hot? I know I have. The only thing that stopped me was having a fever or something that would cause me to call in sick to work. Shamefull.

At least I never called in sick if I was hung over. Allthough I stopped getting hung over long long ago.

Just curious. Anyone else? I shudder to think about doing that now. I have bronchitus and feel like crap and I cant even imagine having a beer atm!

With the exception of a true real influenza that flattens me for two to three days I drink nightly. Come to think of it this sorry ass has even gotten mup from my death bed to have a few. Nightly habbit only, I wouldn't even think about it any other time.

Nope, when really sick I go to my bed and don't come out until 100% on the mend. If just a cold sure I drank!

Im suffering from hay fever at the moment and the only thing that makes me feel better is alchol.

I always drank unless I was throwing up no matter what i had.
When I was younger I would go to work hung over or still drunk. As I got older I couldn't go in to work hung over, but most of the time was set up to be able to work from home. I always managed to meet my deadlines so got away with it.

Not proud of it but it's in the past now so it doesn't matter any more.

A bad cold with sore throat seemed more fun with a hot toddy! Usually I just had one. Since Nyquil and all that stuff has alcohol in it, I'd rather have the real thing ... and might still if I catch another cold. Wine or beer though are really bad for colds. The yeast seems to like wine and beer. Better to stick with spirits.

I can drink through anything, can't think of any illness I have had that I couldnt face a drink ! Always made it to work too, wonder if all the most 'conscientious' of the workforce are drinkers? Hmmm that's a thought, all those that always make it to work no matter what are there through guilt???? My hand is up straighaway LOL.

Sadly, sick or not sick it wouldn't matter. I would convince myself that drinking would make me feel better no matter what. Unless I had some stomach flu that would be the only thing to stop me from drinking because I wouldn't be able to keep anything down anyway and why waste the money if it was going to come up anyway.

I've come a long way.

i ve always had brandy in my coffee (helps with the cold, ) beer if im sick, (dosent burn so much comin out) i think the only times i havent drunk when ive been ill was on the few occassions i think i had alcohol poisioning, throwing up yellow bile, heaving, a head that felt like it was split an running with sweat, i cant even smoke a fag or sip water for about 12 hrs, any other time brandy used to make me forget how rough i felt an get on with running around for every1, gonna have to find a new medicine soon tho , and work out whats actually wrong with my poor body !!

Yep... I'm another one who would drink through any illness, other than a throwing up bug. *Shudder*

Gee-unless I vomited & couldn't hold things down the alcohol hole was always open. The thought of alcohol being "my relief" convinced me that it was helping. Dumb.
