If you get chicken: pox, then your body is trying to fight the virus. I would suggest avoiding alcohol until you are completely well and even then maybe a full month after that before drinking which can compromise your immune system

Depends: Chickenpox in an adult can be a rough disease affecting many organ systems and occasionally leading to death (Cpx pneumonia). Some will have a mild hepatitis as part of the systemic phase of the illness.Any alcohol consumed during this phase could have more toxicity because the liver cannot process it as easily. If you must, do so sparingly.It may take several weeks before you return to normal.
