George Clooney thinks tequila wards off swine flu

Never one to let a swine flu pandemic get him down, George Clooney was determined to take his buddies down to Cabo San Lucas for a little Mexican vacation. Clooney's boys-only trips to Cabo are rather infamous amongst those who don't buy that Clooney is some kind nice, lovely man just waiting for the right woman to make his wife. Not that Clooney isn't nice - I buy that he's probably a very lovely man, and a consummate professional. What I don't buy is that Clooney likes nice women, or that he's just waiting for the right girl to come along to make his wife. Allegedly, Clooney's trips to Cabo are for finding the best in Mexican relaxation, no matter the cost. Too vague? I think Clooney likes to pay for it, because he doesn't care about getting married or finding a nice girl, he just like pretty young girls who treat him like a god.

In any case, Clooney was looking to take his boys to Cabo, but they didn't want to go because of the swine flu. Clooney's remedy? Tequila, and lots of it:

Former ER doc George Clooney has his own method of warding off swine flu - massive amounts of tequila!

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.

The party-hearty trio stayed at a plush $1,000-a-night three- bedroom penthouse at the posh Casa Dorada hotel overlooking Medano Beach, dining each night at the resort's 12 Tribes restaurant, playing golf every day and bellying up to the outdoor swim-up pool bar - where the tequila flowed like water.

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.

Haha, swine flu isn't funny, George. If anything, getting drunk on tequila and running around with Mexico's finest hookers would most likely make a person more susceptible to any and all viruses and flus.

In other George Clooney news, he's been sighted in Italy, around his beloved Lake Como estate. He's even hanging out with John Malkovich! That's a lovely combination. Clooney's most likely going to spend the summer there - so I guess he's fine. No swine flu yet! He's just got the womanizer virus.
