I went home to visit my folks this weekend; my dad and I went fishing this weekend and took along a cooler full of Coronas. That's about as exciting as my weekends have gotten for a while - I haven't been out actually "drinking" since St. Patties Day. :mrgreen:

Fishing with a couple of beers is not a bad way to spend a weekend. I have not had a nice, relaxing weekend in a lot time now. Even after my heart surgery, I was up and about that weekend.

Heart surgery huh? Be careful Andrew. Bad diet? Hereditary?

Anyway, picked up a 12-pack of Bohemia on Friday. Enjoying it!

As for heart surgeries, mine was pretty minor. I was born with my issue, it just did not start becoming an issue until recently. Everything went well and I am doing just fine. Have not had anything really to drink though since the surgery. Don't want to temp faith.

This weekend, my weekend starts today at 3pm, we have a case of Saranac IPA, and for the rest of the week a case the standby, Werstiener in cans. The occasional rum and coke mixed in there. Andrew, get some grain alcohol, may help with the cold (of course in moderation).

I never thought that drinking would help with a cold. Can you explain more?

Now that I have received the green light from my doctor, I am open to try something new.

Strong alcohol definitely clears your sinuses right on out :mrgreen: When we were little and had colds, my grandpa would try to give us whiskey and my mom would scream at him every time.

I guess it makes sense. I bet that is why there is so much (or used to be) alcohol in nightquil.
