Drinking beer is not recommended during a cold, nor are other alcoholic beverages, including liquor, red wine and wine. Because the main thing during the cold is to pay attention to rest and minimize the burden on the body. For drinking water, you can have a little more to be able to replenish the body’s water. Although beer also mainly contains water, but the alcohol in it can cause some burden to the body. In the case of a cold, the body’s various inflammatory responses are used to resist foreign aggression, that is, the immune system has to clear all kinds of viruses, all kinds of antigens. When you drink alcohol at this time, the body’s liver will free up some of its ability to detoxify the alcohol, which will increase the body’s burden. And there are some colds that can cause liver function damage themselves; drinking beer burdens the liver cells a bit more, and the liver damage may be more pronounced. Of course, for the vast majority of common colds, a little bit of beer won’t manifest itself in this way, but no one can be sure of this without performing the relevant tests. So to be on the safe side, drinking beer during a cold is not recommended.
