If i drink some what heavily on the weekends only will this hurt my immune system and prolong my genital warts instead of my immune system getting rid of them?

Binge drinking -- heavy alcohol intake from time to time but not daily -- still has serious health risks, mostly for liver and heart problems. However, it has no known effect on the immune system or on clearance of genital warts or other HPV infections.

everyone's immune system is unique so no specific recommendation can be made. In general excess of everything is not good. so moderate your drinking, eat healthy, exercise and get treated for HPV and hopefully you will be fine. Good luck

Treatment of genital warts is from creams such as podophyllin, imiquimod, and trichloroacetic acid. Cryotherapy is also used. .The alcohol abuse can lead to liver damage and possible cirrhosis which can end up as liver cancer. Your immune system is being abused by your lifestyle. Learn to live healthy in order to stay healthy.
