Hayfever is an annoying allergy that can turn you into a sniveling mess of a human being while seriously sabotaging your summer fun. Relentless sneezing and itchy, puffy eyes or drowsiness from allergy medication – not much of a choice, is it? Fear, not sufferers – there is light at the end of the tunnel!
Hayfever Sufferer? Switch to Gin & Tonic
Charity Asthma UK revealed recently that sufferers can find refuge in gin. Or vodka. Here’s why. According to experts, switching to clear spirits like gin or vodka can help curb allergy symptoms. Gin is free of sulphites, which is a group of nasties proven to provoke allergy side effects and asthma.
Beer and cider can actually worsen symptoms of both hayfever and asthma due to the fermentation process and higher histamine levels in both.
