Medicinal Alcohol?

(5)

I am feeling much better as the evening progresses. I was wondering whether booze would exascerbate my unfortunate condition or mitigate it, and I am pleased to report in favor of mitigation. Let me explain:

I began this evening sober but sick. Just before I took my temperature I estimated it at between 90 and 90.5 (F of course - being gassed here with a small dose of RLG). The actual measurement turned out to be 90.3, confirming my estimate. I decided to proceed with tonight's booze session based on those minimal observations.

Clearly we are under attack. Our body temperature has risen in defense. Even as I type this our glorious immune system is in the process of manufacturing anti-bodies, soldiers, who will multiply themselves. They may eventually be numbered in the billions, maybe trillions. As I type this those glorious little antibodies are in the process of departing on a mission to save our lives.

My past experience with this sort of warfare tells me that there will soon be a great slaughter. My little soldiers will slay our enemies by the billions, and as a result I will be feeling better.
Soon.

I'm wondering whether alcohol will be an ally in this war (there is a tap from above whenever (tap) I mispell a word). Will alcohol help or hinder the slaughter to come? I wonder. Time will tell and I will hopefully report the results back to you. If you do not hear from me after this then I would not blame you for inferring that alcohol was a minus.
