i have a really bad headache, hook up the JD...stat!!!!
There's some truth in that too !
Alcohol is a vasodilatory, so it can help with a headache.
When my wife gets a migraine, one of the best treatments is a glass of Drambuie - at least that's what she tells me. :chin:
And my granny used to keep brandy by her bed, for medicinal purposes. If she had cramp she would have a quick drink of brandy to relax her muscles.
