I have been sick with mono for around a week. can i have 1 beer or 1 glass of wine daily or every other day while sick? i'm a 135 pound male.

Avoid few months.: People should avoid alcohol while they have mono. That's because mono and alcohol can each affect a person's liver. The two together could cause liver damage.

Hard to say: Mono affects people differently.Most do get a hepatitis, or inflammation of the liver, which can last several weeks. The liver is where your body breaks down the toxic alcohol and any intake would stress an already inflamed system. You would likely experience more impairment /drink and increase the toxic effect.You will do what you will do but we advise you to rest your liver.You need it to last.
