How useful is grog for colds?

According to a recent survey, around 17 percent of men and seven percent of women swear by grog for colds. However, experts do not think much of this household remedy. The reason: alcohol weakens the body's defenses and dehydrates the body. However, the body needs sufficient fluids to keep the mucous membranes moist. If they become too dry, viruses can continue to multiply. So tea and water are definitely the healthier and better option than grog for colds. You should drink two to three liters of fluids when your body is fighting the onset of a cold.
