I find a shot of whiskey works very well at staving off a cold.  I 
drink it slowly and like to swish it around in the glass so I can 
inhale the fumes.  I also treat at the first tickle of a sore throat.  
Alcohol is a pretty good disinfectant.  (And personally, I hate hot 
pepper.  but of course, YMMV)
