Whiskey Can Relieve Cold Symptoms While the common cold has no cure, an age-old remedy is making a comeback. A hot toddy, made with whiskey, honey, lemon juice and hot water, can subdue your winter cold. The hot water helps to relieve nasal congestion. The alcohol dilates blood vessels, helping your mucous membranes battle the infection. But that doesn't mean alcohol is a magical cure. Too much alcohol can have an adverse affect by pulling fluid from the body. So enjoy hot toddies in moderation.
