Fans urged to drink whisky to ward off swine flu: 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.
I urge drinking whisky to ward off that confusing time between naps known as conciousness.

What, no vodka in Wales? Why not tell them to drink rubbing alcohol?

'Cause, you know, if anybody needs to be encouraged to drink, it's the Russians.

When the Russians get on British soil, it won't matter what they've been drinking prior to their arrival.
They will have arrived in one of the world's great epicenters of sports-related "warding off" and it will be "game on" from that moment forward.

I can only imagine what the Detroit Lions fans have been drinking to ward off losing 15 games this year.

I love that advice. "WHISKEY!" Matt Berry would approve.

After listening to the local sports media and their callers, I'd say a good portion are drinking Jim Schwartz's Kool-Aid...guess the bad taste from Marinelli's didn't last as long for most...
