I have a cold. My body has picked a fine time to come under attack. No, really. I just completed testing at daycare facilities in our area, and we don’t have company coming for another month. A cold couldn’t have settled in my head at a better time.
It’s still pissing me off. The local weather has begun warming up beautifully. Frogs are singing a happy harmony down by the lake. Birds are flitting about in courtship. And I’m sick.
I looked on Pinterest for cold remedy ideas. Between sneezing, sniffling, and hacking I found a cornucopia of suggestions.
Try as I might I didn’t find wine mentioned in any of them. I could get behind a cure that recommended I drink a glass of wine or two (or three or four) with dinner.
Unfortunately everything I’ve read suggests laying off alcohol for the duration.
I’m still holding out hope that this malady is just a 24-hour bug. I’m not sure it’s in my best interest to go without the grape for too long.
Peace, People!
P.S. I might be able to substitute whisky just this once.

When I was working at a Japanese restaurant and I thought I might be coming down with a cold yhe cook made me a drink from grated fresh ginger, whiskey, and honey he poured a little hot water in it just enough to make it warmish and told me to chug it down. The beginnings of a cold went away and I felt great and I was happy to!
