Nor do I now I know NOT to touch the evil that is Merlot.
Good plan, Stan

A lot of that is still relevant Harley.

Vitamin C is marvellous for the immune system and again for the old wound healing.

Chilli is fantastic as well and turmeric has anti toxins that help prevent some types of cancer,

The hot toddy. Whiskey (the expensive one that your BIL bought you) honey, lemon, n aspirin (if you're allowed)

Tea

I only ever have hot drinks when I'm ill.

I cant drink that stuff,yuk

I can't when I'm well and my taste buds are working, but when I'm ill I drink it because it's hot.

I normally drink very black coffee, but if I'm feeling poorly I like cappucino - i find it comforting

Do you leave out the milk? just drink the hot tea.

I can see how that would work. Tea doesn't work an any level for me, particularly the 'odd' ones. Tea afficionados are like those weirdos who claim that one wine is different to another 

Oh dear! Let me tell you that tea differs a great deal. Once you've tried Friesian tea, you'll never go back. Alas! It's only available in the Fatherland. One has to make do with 50/50 Earl Grey/black tea here.

.......... But I agree with you aboot that wine rubbish mind.

I never had you down as German 

Thank god I'm not the only one who can't drink tea or coffee 

I thought me avatar was a bit of a giveaway. Nicht wahr?

It used to be cocoa when i was younger.

I used to also be given warm milk with sugar in, also reminds me of cold winter nights in front of the fire.

Thats because you are silly.

I am a coffee drinker on the whole. Tea has its place but I find it rather bland as a drink..


And as a wine lover, I can assure you I am not weird and there definitely different types of wine that all taste very different,

Oh yes - hot milk with sugar in - the ultimate comfort drink

My OH is a wine drinker. He goes into great detail about each bottle he tries. He gives me a sip and all I can say is either "yeah it's ok" or 

I'm a vodka drinker and I can tell you that there are different types of that too. 

That's what my nan used to give me before bedtime.  And with a teaspoon of whiskey in it too.

It's all her fault.

Oddly enough the same applies to ouzo. (our house spirit)

You're not fooling anyone you know 

Yes it's all their fault. 
I might have one now, but i don't think i have enough milk.... oh well

I really fancy a mug of hot milk now...

Only one thing for it, Evelyn - you'll just have to suffer it neat.
Sympathies and all that, but you can't be spoiling the Cornflakes at brekky tomorrow, can you?  Be brave, darling.

Just water for me, but I do have to have rich tea biscuits

you and your biscuits

I always drink horlicks when I'm ill.

Lol Tina, what can I say, I do love them biscuits :-D

I drink lots of water if I have a bad cold I boil water and put two slices of lemon in it for a sore throat a spoonful of honey in boiled water.

I also like an oxo cube crushed in a cup with hot water salt and pepper my mum used to give us that on cold morning before we went to school with toast it always reminds me of my school days

Usually, I drink Lucozade if I'm ill, although I do like hot orange squash with some honey, if I have a cold.
I like Heinz cream of chicken soup when I start to feel a bit better. I never have it at any other time. Goes back to my childhood.
