MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian soccer fans have been told to drink whisky on their trip to Wales for next month's World Cup qualifier to ward off the H1N1 swine flu virus, the head of the country's supporter association (VOB) said Monday.
"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."

If you look it up and study it, the word itself is intertwined in it's origins with water, life, water of life, etc., in many different and separate tongues.
With that much history involved, I reckon there must be something to it.
Cheers!

There’s your ‘socialized health care’ mentality right there in a nutshell.
I visited a ‘state-run’ hospital in Poland when I was sick on my travels. You would NOT believe. *shudder*

As a Musician for 30 years, I can personally debunk this cure. I caught every stupid thing that came in, and I had plenty of whiskey. Get the other kind of shot.

"Uh, Dude, sharing "cigarettes" with groups of people spreads germs and viruses. Nah it wasn't that...drunk people like to get really close up an personal when they talk to ya. Plus all those people in a confined area, dancing, sweating, yelling, coughing..not good at all.
