Question:
Alcohol when having a fever ok?
Yea, I know dumb question right. "It dehydrates you" and everything else. But why exactly is it bad to do? No one can give me a clear medical answer. And if you're gonna give me a BS answer like "don't be irresponsible," or "you're and idiot", don't even bother posting please. I can give myself uneducated answers. Just give advice form a medical view point. Thanks
Answers:
i think you had it when you said that it dehydrates you. You're body needs water to be able to combat illness and when you're drinking alcohol that is taking away that water that your body would use to keep you from getting sick.
But, as long as you aren't getting wasted (which might make you sick in itself) I dont see why you coudln't be social..
all in all, if you do get sick, you know who to blame :p
