Cocktail as Cure?
雞尾酒治感冒？
Just make sure the latté is decaf, since any diuretic, such as caffeine, can promote dehydration, which usually worsens a cold. 'When you're hydrated, your mucus membranes are lubricated, which will help you feel better,' says Dr. Bergquist.
只要確保拿鐵是無咖啡因的，因為咖啡因等利尿劑都能促進脫水，而脫水通常會令感冒加重。伯奎斯特說，當你水分充足時，你的粘膜是潤滑的，這會讓你感覺舒服些。
She puts alcohol, also a diuretic, in a 'mixed' category. 'Mild inebriation can cause pain relief...hence the hot toddy and brandy cure,' she says. But while liquor may temporarily relieve symptoms, it, too, can cause dehydration.
她把同樣有利尿效果的酒類歸為“作用好壞參半”一類。她說，微醉能夠緩解疼痛……所以熱棕櫚酒和白蘭地有治療效果。但盡管酒類可能暫時緩解癥狀，它也能導致脫水。
