Is it OK to drink alcohol during Chicken Pox?

The swines. I have been struck down in my prime. The lumps and bumps are now making their presence felt.

But I was wondering.... would a beer or two cause me any problems?

Unlucky mate, I know what you are going through I had them at 19 and it wasn't a nice experience, I hope you have a swift recovery.

As to drinking beer I've no idea but everything is always better after a beer though so it's worth a try.

I've had the flu-like symptoms over the weekend. That wasn't so pleasant. Feeling a lot healthier now, although my torso would suggest otherwise. I'm waiting for the face ones now.... my scalp is pretty bad, and some nasty ones on my jawline.

Still, better than that norovirus from a couple of years back - that was hell.
