Myth of Fact: You will get drunker faster if you drink alcohol when you have a cold.?!


Question: I would guess the answer to be yes, but that's jsut by reason alone.
Alcohol is technically a toxin. The body attempts to fight off this toxin the moment that it enters the body. Since the body in a weakened state, such as with a cold, it is sort of battling on two fronts. Therefore, I would say that the alcohol would not be fought off as fast and therefore you'd be a faster drunk.
