Any particular flu like experience I’ve had I wouldn’t even consider having a drink.
Four years of swerving it but it's finally caught up with me.
Here's the key question - just HOW important is the no booze rule?
I'm thinking a medicinal brandy must be acceptable. The French would!

It's just a matter of time...
I had covid once, I think in 2022 but can't even remember. Was largely a nonevent for me which was lucky.
I personally wouldn't drink whilst ill and have no medical experience to guide you!

Think I had it last weekend, floored me for 3 days.
Hot toddy before bed, heavy on the whisky.
I had it bad thought I was going to die.
I couldnt eat just,sips of water.
Head felt like it was on fire in a nightmare,it was a hell that words cant convey.
I said no to an ambulance 3 times as I didnt want to pass it on.
Sounds like you dont have it bad,but I wouldnt drink or do anything that could stop revovery as fast as possible.
How do you know it’s Covid?Originally Posted by FrontierGibberish
Had it twice and have no evidence that bibbing or not made any difference. Can't remember any contraindications in any of the bits of paper I only briefly read . Don't break a longstanding habit unnecessarily... mine's a pint.
Indeed. It may not help but if it doesn’t it will fail deliciously. If you still have your senses of smell/taste, that is. Which it seems these new strains leave well alone.

Take it very easy. Having had it twice myself I wouldn't add even a very mild hangover into the mix. I didn't touch the sauce myself until I felt a lot better.
Not medical advice, but If you think a small glass will help you sleep through the night, then I'd go ahead.

The governments have swept covid all under the carpet nowadays.
A little alcohol won’t harm imo
First time got confirmed covid back in the day got it bad was just after second vaccine, my son not-vaccined got too with hardly any symptoms...
Since then must have had it a couple of times more but never have tested again and its been like a bad cold with throat and olfactory issues.
I guess I had it after Christmas as I lost smell and taste for 3 days, no other symptoms.
That happened first time around, but with a headache. It's strange how it effects people differently.
Fine advice chaps. Have decided to give the sauce the swerve whilst I have it. Like a very heavy flu - not bad (especially compared to what some have had) but I'm keen to be rid of the thing!
First time I had it I felt awful for 2 weeks, weak for 2 more then I was fine. Had it twice since and felt absolutely fine which was weird . Our youngest son is clinically vulnerable so we are all fully jabbed, he gets tested regularly and that’s how we find out. Everyone seems to react differently tbh, I suspect a lot of people who think they’ve dodged it have had it at least once but were totally symptomless. On all 3 occasions I’ve tested positive for nearly 3 weeks too, even on the occasions I felt really fit and well! Not really a drinker so stuck to plenty of fluids but more of the fruit juice and squash varieties myself!
Its doing the rounds, got it myself today as well. Not feeling too awful right now but its been less than a day of symptoms.
For ref my mum having had chemo last year had to visit the local A&E on her consultant's advice to get a boost of anti sickness, fluids, steroids, et al as she tested positive too. Be sure to check in with anyone you might know with a serious medical history, that they're getting everything they need.
I’ve had it three times. Sod’s Law, I was giving out the jabs as a volunteer for St John Ambulance for the whole pandemic!
6 pints of Guinness,its a food! so will really help.
I think......
