Is Powerade okay for a cold?

Ian · January 19, 2017, 09:20:04 PM

I'm a picky bitch with what I eat and drink so I always need something flavorful to drink, as such my fridge is never really stocked up on anything other than milk and Powerade. Now I have a cold and I've been too tired all day to go to the store to buy OJ and some bottles of water. So I've been guzzling down whatever Powerade I do have since a tip that's often passed around is to just drink a lot.

I know it's no substitute for OJ or plain water but will it do anything for me?

All you fucking need is water you stupid subhuman cash cow for the marketing goons selling you fancy flavored shit with "electrolytes" and "vitamins" that you just piss out

If my cold is gone. I'll be sane enough to take the banter.

I'm not drinking from the tap and I'm too tired to go out and get something that's better.

I think #%¥ is being a little bit rude. This is a safe place.

Unfortunately, though, he's right about you being a bitch.

Time to drink your own piss.

Sounds like you're just too much of a bitch to even survive a cold.

Don't you live near fucking Disney World? I'm sure you have perfectly okay municipal tap water

Drink water you baby.

Ian · January 19, 2017, 09:33:44 PM

I get one maybe once a year, if that. Because of its rarity I'm usually not prepared for it and it takes me a while. Being around so many people as I am, I think I've developed a good immunity.

It's not the same.

Probably not.

Eat pure garlic or honey. Those both have some helpful things in them for fighting off colds. You can try mixing a rough approximate of something like a spoonful of honey into milk and nuking it in the microwave for a bit to warm it up. Depends on the cold however if it's effecting your stomach don't go with the milk.

It's fine

Nope, it's basically sugar water and not what your body needs. Healthy foods, complex carbs, lean meats and healthy fats. Soups, vegetables, etc. Plenty of water, too. Orange juice is also awful for you.
