So the thing about alcohol decreasing your core temperature must explain why my fever goes down after a shot of bourbon...

Alcohol makes you feel warm and turn beet red because it causes your blood vessels to dilate, hence a larger surface area to cool the blood.............

But it has to be decent Bourbon. I recommend Woodford Reserve.

Is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?

When I was a child sick with the flu my dad would sneak a little whiskey in a shot glass to me late at night. Seemed to work as I would wake up in a great sweat in the morning. Fever gone.
