How much Etoh?: This will not change your risk of becoming infected. If you drinking minimally to moderately (1 alcoholic beverage for a female and 2 for men) it is not likely to pose an issue with severity of disease . However, if you are a heavy drinker resulting in other medical conditions that could impact illness severity.
