How Long Should I Wait Before Drinking Alcohol And Sharing Food After Being Diagnosed With Mono?
I recently found out that I have mono. I'm assuming I got it in the past 2-6 weeks. Since mono makes the liver susceptible to damage, how long should I wait until I can drink alcohol? Also, how long should I wait for things like kissing/sharing food and drink?

hi,
It is ideal to refrain from alcohol for at least 3-4 weeks after fever subsides. Sharing food and drink with others is always not recommended in the interest of general health, however for mono patients, transmission stops within 1 week of subsidence of fever.
Hope this helped.
