Can i drink beer while i have a cold?

Well, you could, but the primary goal when you are ill should be to recover as best you can. Alcohol can contribute to mild dehydration, when you should be focusing on trying to remain as hydrated as possible. I would not recommend alcohol in that setting. Good luck.
