Drinking to yer health!


Here's a novel solution to disease-prevention. I, fer one, will be taking this advice. Really does give new meaning to the toast 'drinking to yer health' . . . Fook yeah!

MOSCOW, Aug 3 — Russian football fans have been told to drink whisky on their trip to Wales for next month’s World Cup qualifier to ward off the A(H1N1) flu virus, the head of the country’s supporter association (VOB) said today.

“We urge our fans to drink a lot of Welsh whisky as a form of disinfection,” VOB head Alexander Shprygin told Reuters.

“That should cure all symptoms of the disease.”

Russia’s Health Ministry has issued a public warning against travelling to Britain because of the spread of the A(H1N1) virus but Shprygin said he expected at least several hundred fans would go to Wales for the September 9 qualifier in Cardiff.

“Health officials say this virus is very dangerous but being a fan myself I can tell you that for a real fan nothing is more important than the well-being of the team,” said Shprygin, who also sits on the executive board of the Russian FA.

“Russian fans don’t fear anything or anybody so this virus will not stand in our way of supporting our team.”

The Russian FA also said health issues should not prevent fans from travelling.
“We don’t want our team to be without any support for such an important match so we urge our fans to go to Wales despite the health warning,” a spokesman said.

Germany lead European Group Four with 16 points from six games, one ahead of Russia, with Wales in fourth place on nine points from seven matches. – Reuters

Mohan said...

Ad Dude: Familiar with the other two but what's that middle one?? Nice whisky or just a bourbon. Totally agree with Biren...buy .ani a stiff one! It'll get rid of her cold, and of course she doesn't want to accept my advice of sticking a tampon in each nostril and go around scaring kids...apalah!.. :-).
kind regards, M.
p/s: Apalah..Xabi's gone... hope Rafa knows what he's doing!! Damn!

Bernard said...

Mohan - bottle in the middle is Crown Royal whisky. Canadian origins, have not tried it before, probably crappy...

As for the advise, good excuse then to polish off what's left of my Japanese whisky. Not that one needs an excuse to do that in the first place...

Anba said...

Crown Royal mixed with Coke was the late n great Dime Darell's Fav drink...
But m really suprised to know that the Ruskies wanna try Wels Whisky given that their Home made spirit Vodka has a reputation of its own to kill...
by the way the way the h1N1 death rat is climbing and suspected cases at my workplace...it's scary indeed...
No piece of mind...

Taken from wikipedia ....


Black Tooth Grin is an alcoholic beverage made with a shot or more of Crown Royal Canadian whisky, Seagrams 7 or generally any straight brown liquor, and a "splash" of Coca-Cola, just enough to slightly darken the mixture. [1]

The beverage became popular as it was a favorite of band members from Pantera, and was said to have been created by lead guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott.

It was named after a lyric from the song "Sweating Bullets" by Megadeth from the line "Some day you too will know my pain, And smile its blacktooth grin".[citation needed]

It is usually served either in a 10oz. mixing glass/middy (with no ice or mixed directly in the mouth).

The Black Tooth Grin has become a socially popular drink, especially during the anniversary of Dimebag Darrell's death. It's a rite of passage for some.
