Should I have a beer even though I have fairly bad cold?!
Question: Right now I'm moderately sick. Sore throat with a runny nose. However, I am craving a beer. I have a few Smithwicks in my fridge right now. I would like to drink one or two of them seeing how it's Saturyday night and I really don't drink much during the week. Will this make my cold worse? Will it have no effect at all? Should I have the beer?

I wouldn't suggest drinking the beer - Alcohol impedes the effiency of your immune system. Basically it comes down to a question of judgment. Do you want a quick recovery so you can drink beer in three days or do you want to suffer from a prolonged cold and not be able to touch another beer for nine days?
i think a beer will make it worst since its cold but drink hard liqour ur cold will be gone
one beer will not hurt, as the alcohol will actually kill some of the bacteria in ur system... however do not get drunk while you are sick... It is by far the worse experience... not only will it make you feel worse both the next day and while your drunk, but it will most likley just make the cold worse.
A beer will not hurt you. However, once you start to drink it you may wish you had a warm cup of cocoa or coffee.
Since you didn't list your age, I'm assuming that your are underage and should not be partaking alcohol.
This is why there is a age limit;
Consider how beer is made, it is fermented, it is loaded with FUNGUS which causes many illnesses, and that is probably why you are sick in the first place. Your immune system is greatly compromised.

personally, I would drink the beer, but..it may dehydrate you, so be careful with that. And, if you are on medication, the beer might not be a good idea.
IF you are an adult,...a little bit of beer and pull several covers over you, and sweat it out...if you are feverish.
it's all about moderation. do not over do anything in life.
