Flu and beer?

So I have the flu, and its pretty bad, my respiratory system is not good, and my immunity is low. However, i want to go out and party tonight, and drink. I hear that alcohol actually helps things like the cold and flu.

So if i cant break the flu, why not drown it?

What are your thoughts?

You will feel better tonight, but tomorrow you will probably pay for it.

I dunno. If you feel bad, how can you want to go out? Maybe the alcohol will help kill the germs! However, drinking tends to dehydrate you which by the way, dehydration is one of the biggest complications of having the flu. So, if you do decide to go out, drink plenty of water with the beer. Good luck!

drink liquor

Alcohol lowers your immunity even more, especially if you are a regular drinker, b/c your body is lacking certain nutrients. Not a good idea, go form dehydration to worse, hospital or death

Actually, it should be ggod for you since it is in cough/flu medicines. I recommend liquor especially tequila or whisky

alcohol in small amounts is in a lot of home remedies as a cough suppressant. But drowning in alcohol is not a great idea. Dehydration, for one, but your liver's already filtering out viruses, why strain its load?

Don't over do it, alcohol can make a sore throat worse.

It could make a sore throat worse.
And if your not a regular drinker, you might vomit.
But it would make you feel better for the time being.
But not the next day.

NO...... do not do it. I had the flu last night and i went to a party. I felt like i was going to puke after about 10 mins in there with all of the loud music and everything. I ended up having to go home after a hour before things got really bad. This morning i felt bad because i couldn't go to bed the night before. Again, DON'T DO IT!!!!!
