Most of you know that I am a “blogaholic”, you know, blogging about entertainment and someone who likes to sample the finest liquors.

But has George Clooney lost his mind? Telling your friends that tequila will keep someone immune from swine flu to get them to go to Mexico with you is just plain selfish. And it’s not funny. This is NOT why you should drink. There is no cure for the swine flu and if anything, tequila (or any other liquor) will probably f-ck up your liver rather than cure swine flu.  Sure, he might be the “sexiest man alive”, but that doesn’t mean that he’s the smartest. Or maybe he’s that persuasive?

“George tried to organize a boys-only escape to Cabo San Lucas over the Memorial Day holiday to golf and party. But some of his pals balked at going south of the border with swine flu raging in Mexico. Undaunted, George was able to convince a couple of his friends to make the trip by telling them that they’d be protected from the epidemic – as long as they drank plenty of tequila!

While the germ-fighting ability of tequila is medically questionable, the star did end up making the trip with his best friend Thom Matthews and Cindy Crawford’s husband Rande Gerber.

While most of the country was following daily updates of the swine flu outbreak, George seemed unconcerned about his own well-being.

“George lived with his pot-bellied pig Max for 18 years, so he joked that he’s probably immune to swine flu,” added the friend. (source via Celebitchy)

I’ll be sticking to my red and white wines, thank you very much. I have a hard time with tequila anyway, being that there are some worms in the bottle.
