What is the best alcaholic beverage to have when recovering from a stomach bug?

None: Stop drinking alcoholic beverages while you are recovering from viral gastroenteritis. You have plenty of time to drink after you are fully recovered.

Agree with Dr. Ein: Start w clear liquid like water, slightly flattened soda that is clear, or sports hydration drinks. Sip, sip, sip. Work up to solids w bland foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, gelatin, or chicken. Avoid alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, dairy & high fat foods. Rest.
