Advances in medicine

Uh, am I the only one who doesn't see the title "Doctor" in front of this guy's name?

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."

It also makes you immune to criticism and meeting ugly potential sexual partners.

(Side effects include nausea, headaches, vomiting, and short-term memory loss.)
