MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russian soccer fans have been told to drink whiskey 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.”

Many readers of this blog are happy to realize they are now immune from H1N1.

  2. Floyd says:

    If the fans are smashed/hung over in their hotel rooms, they won’t be exposed to as many people. There maybe some truth in whiskey here.

    @jasmoran66 “Whiskey” comes from the USA and Ireland. The stuff that comes from Scotland and the rest of the UKis called “Whisky” – without the E.

    It may not cure the disease, but if you drink enough of it, you can be sure you won’t notice any of the symptoms!!

  11. Oinkment….lol. Thought it was a typo at first. Didn’t know I was immune from H1N1. Will have the tell the friends who make fun of what I drink.
