Researchers in Oregon Health & Science University are currently saying you might actually be better off getting a drink at a bar then getting that flu shot.

The study, first published in the journal Vaccine, showed results that point to truth in that statement. They found subjects who drink moderately over the course of a few months had a faster/stronger immune responses than heavy drinkers, as you might expect. BUT the crazy part is that those same subject all fared better than those who were in a control group and not allowed to drink. that abstained.

Unfortunately testing was only done on primates. When we got to clinical trials I will be signing up as a patient. I will drink all the things! Until them I will be at my local Pharmacy having a round or two with friends.
