Is it okay to drink tonight even if I'm sick?

I've been sick for the last four days with a sinus infection and a bit of the flu. I've had plenty of rest, I've been at home, I've been drinking water and Gatorade, and I've had a lot of vitamin C. I feel better, I only have a stuffy nose, a little bit of coughing, and some body aches. The party will be inside, and I'm not planning on getting drunk, but almost drunk... Will it be okay if I drink?
I usually wouldn't drink when sick, but the party is at my house, and I'm also throwing the party. I can't miss it. :(
 
No. Sorry to burst your bubble. But to drink would meant to dehydrate yourself. You are already dehydrated. You'll just end up with a hangover no matter what. So drink. Have fun. But the end results won't be fun. Maybe have some soda, water, say you don't feel the best. Don't drink just for the point of drinking and NOT when your sick for god sakes. Get better soon.
 
Yeah, of course. You've had plently of rest, and with a steady intake of water and vitamins your body is almost recovered.
If your plans are to not get drunk, a few shots/or drinks won't be too bad.
Remember how grandparents always use to give their grandkids/kids a slurp of whiskey before bed when they were sick? It actually helps sometimes.
Have fun ;)
 
You will be perfectly fine. You may increase the chance of feeling sick if you consume too much alcohol. There is also a slight chance that since your body is no longer resting but is being impaired that you may stay sick for a longer period of time.

Have fun :)
