there would not likely be any consequences to alcohol consumption in moderations after having influenza. many people who self-diagnose themselves with flu did not actually have influenza but another flu-like viral infection. influenza causes generalized body aches malaise fever and respiratory symptoms (coughing congestion sore throat). people who have gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea vomiting diarrhea) did not have the "flu" but most likely a viral gastroenteritis often erroneously called the "stomach flu". this has no relationship to true influenza. if you did indeed have gastrointestinal symptoms recently i would recommend that your alcohol consumption but very light or none at all until you are completely well.
i'm getting over the flu what would be the consequences of drinking alcohol?
