Better to heal: When the body is focused on overcoming an illness, I always believe it is best to 'do the right thing' and support the body. Drinking alcohol will work against you, as it is a toxin and could weaken you in a dose-related fashion. Azithromycin (Z-pack) has a long half-life and steroids are serious business. I would recommend to skip the alcohol and if socializing, go for the 'virgin' options.
