Robroysboy Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 The travel guide document produced by SSC at the time advised not to drink the water & to use bottled stuff... hoping the ice in the bars is also bottled water, nothing worse than travelling with the runs / stomach cramp.

Bristolhibby Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 hoping the ice in the bars is also bottled water, nothing worse than travelling with the runs / stomach cramp. I get that, but that's generally because of three days on the sauce. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotswarrior31 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I stand corrected. FCO advice is also not to drink tap water. You should also have your Diptheria and Tetanus vaccinations up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagtag Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I was there for the last game then went back for 10 days over Christmas and never had a problem. Hampden on Monday might be a little messy if everyone comes back with the sh!ts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khana Lagur Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Tbilisi is a great city - really enjoyed it last time and never had any bother or anything but good intent from anyone. Plenty to see just by walking about and there were plenty bars etc. By the way, for those of you worried about stomach upsets etc - have you ever wondered why there are Coca-Cola machines on almost every street corner in in so many lesser developed countries?

Johnny Knoxville Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I don't know why stomach upsets are suddenly the topic of this trip. Everyone knows not to drink tap water in any country you go to. If it is drinkable to the locals then it's still never a good idea for us. Stick to beer and then at least you know why you're unwell!

You can drink the water that comes out of a tap in most countries - it's not poisoned. What gives people the upset is the change in the mineral content in the water - your guts get used to the water you consume at home. And if you stick to beer you'll still be drinking water.

Yes, I agree to the first bit 100p! But not the second part, I drink beers from around the world all of the time, I don't worry about the local water used!

Dave78 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 have you ever wondered why there are Coca-Cola machines on almost every street corner in in so many lesser developed countries? Cos the weather is hot? Seriously though, i'm a wee bit worried about getting the lurgy. Hell, i'm the guy that ended up in hospital for 2 weeks with pneumonia after the last time we played in Amsterdam! Like bristolhibby said though, a lot of these mystery illnesses will just be caused by too many days on the batter. Gonna try and take it easy(ier) this trip.

I've already got 4 boxes of dioralyte packed! Keep hydrated before you go to bed then in the morning before you get on it again and that should help! Mixed in bottled water of course!

Forecast is for 37 degrees tomorrow. Heat like that on a TA trip could well be the end of me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat like that on a TA trip could well be the end of me! It certainly helps. I usually don't bother on shorter trips but have used it to keep hydrated on a double header before and I think I had solid poo's all week!!
