Drinking beer can be done for the nucleic acid test, but it is generally not recommended to drink alcohol before doing the nucleic acid test. Nucleic acid test is based on the nucleic acid of the new coronavirus and mainly collects secretions from the throat. Drinking beer will enter the digestive tract after drinking and will not affect the secretions from the throat, and there is no valid research data proving that drinking beer will affect the accuracy of the nucleic acid test. However, if you drink alcohol before the nucleic acid test, you may not cooperate with the doctor, and the nucleic acid test is mainly done through a throat swab or nasal swab to obtain the test sample, so if you drink alcohol after the test, it may induce nausea and vomiting, so it is not recommended to drink alcohol before the nucleic acid test. Care should be taken to maintain clean oral hygiene before the nucleic acid test, and cooperation with healthcare personnel should be maximized to avoid affecting the accuracy of sampling due to non-cooperation.
