No: Drinking is not a good idea for an adult in good health. You are underage, and sick with a serious infection, taking medication and it would bad for you to drink. Do not use alcohol or tobacco even when you are no longer sick.

YouCanDriveOnGreen: It takes a long time for your lungs to clear out all the gunk that's collected from the pneumonia and that's probably what's causing that sound.Hopefully you'll be coughing all that up but if you feel stuff is still down there after 2-3 weeks,let your doctor know.And sure,you can have a few drinks...of cough medicine(if you need it) or carrot juice or green drink or a protein smoothie or green tea
