A member asked:

I contracted chicken pox 18 days back. now 60% of scabs have fell down. can i have drinks(alcohol)? is it safe ? plz reply

Dr. Ashu Syal answered

Yes: Stay in modesty though. I don't believe having chicken pox can cause any adverse reaction with alcohol intake. In any case, the way you describe it, scabs falling off, it seems like the disease is in the recovery mode.
