Question: Herpes and alcohol?

If I'm in my first herpes outbreak that started around Thursday can I drink vodka today??? Can that make my outbreak worse?

Anything that weakens your immune system won't help. Vodka is certainly one of those things. Not guaranteed that it'll make it worse, but it certainly won't help your body heal.

Is there some kind of trick to drinking when you have herpes...???

It's ultimately your decision whether you drink or not ... I still drink occasionally and it doesn't lead to an outbreak, but I'm also very healthy otherwise. AND I know plenty of people who aren't the least bit healthy, drink like fishes and are completely asymptomatic (never have outbreaks). It's a total individual thing. It's how your body is made up, it's how your immune system functions, it's a lot of things. I'd say that if you're still going through your first outbreak to try to only put healthy stuff into your body. Give your body a break. It's already battling herpes, so if you put alcohol in your system, it's just weakening its defenses. But again, it's totally your call. Vodka may be worth taking the chance of a weakened immune system. But have you considered some fresh-juiced carrot juice? Yummy. ;)
