https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/6...u-need-to-swap-your-pint-for-a-gin-and-tonic/ Don't suffer from hay fever myself, but I am a big believer in preventitive medicine.
Astonished that your in to pre - prevention. Is that acquired hereditaments, seeming your parents weren't.
Absolutely. And we've never had malaria either. I see aldi own brand gin won a top award again the other week.
I had several gin & tonics last night (before I moved onto Shiraz)...probably enough to act like an annual hay fever inoculation in fact!
Yes. Couldn't get to Aldin last week and bought another, more expensive, gin. Wasn't as good in my opinion. Being a strong character I didn't pour it away and persevered until it was all gone though.
I was ‘busying’ myself in the garden...well doing a good job of looking busy anyway However daughter, boyfriend and grandson called round unannounced I’m now back looking after my hay fever immune system whilst moaning that I was going through gardening jobs like no one’s business until they came and stopped me. If I end up pissed and sunburnt it’s their fault
This was on that program with the old birds the other morning. Sorry to say, they proved it bollocks. The study showed it may help asthma, then the sun ran with it cure hayfever. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But then I'm just a nomark whose posts have no interest to the clique so just ignore me
Well, I do have asthma so it isn't all bad news. I will haveca few g and ts this evening to help conserve my blue spray.
I developed a very mild case of asthma in my early 50's - as you're aware it's basically an allergy, the key trigger for mine is 'certain' Sulphites, i.e. the ones found in red wine and various 'chemically derived' lagers. Good news is, hand pulled craft beers & bottled weisse beers contain no such additives, nor do gins, malt whiskeys, rums or any other short. Proof positive that the old adage ''every loud etc'' was spot on!
When I used to go down to West Africa a lot I always drank G&T, but it was the Quinine in the tonic rather than the Gin which was preventative against malaria. I never caught it there, so it must have worked. P.S. You can't drink just tonic water without Gin in it.
