Can I Drink Alcohol While Suffering From Cold And Fever?
I have a quick question. Recently, as of yesterday, I have been taking acetaminophen, or cold and flu Tylenol for the cold I started to develop. This evening is a friend of mines birthday party so we were going to go out for drinks. I am ok to drink at all or can i do severe damage if i have one or two drinks? The last time i took the medicine today was around 3 hours ago, but i won t be going out for another 5 hours

Hello,
Thank you for your question.
Its advised that you don't consume alcohol during flu, since it will lead to dehydration and this will make the symptoms stronger. So try to keep good hydration levels until the symptoms resolves completely. Hope that helped.
Kind regards,
Dr. Ahmad
