Yes alcohol makes it harder, but just by a little bit, to get better when you have something like a cold or the flu. But honestly dairy products will do worse things. Your best bet is to eat spicy foods, this always helped me. Tabasco sauce, though I hate it, became my best friend when I had a cold that wouldnt go away.
