is it bad to drink if one has bronchitis?!


Question: Is it bad to drink if one has bronchitis?
Not for me... my roommate was diagnosed today and is going out to party. I'm just checking to see if this is safe. Any info would be helpful.

Answers:

While you are sick, do not drink alcohol. Alcohol dulls your urge to cough and sneeze. When you have bronchitis, you need to be able to cough and sneeze to clear your air passages. Alcohol also causes your body to lose fluid. This can make the mucus in your lungs thicker and harder to cough up.
