PenW Jan 2021 6:06pm, 23 Jan 2021 2,165 posts	Quote Pin PenW I’m taking an alcohol break around my first jab (4 days before and 2 weeks after) - nothing to lose and the vaccine feels so important.
Tim of Fife Jan 2021 7:03pm, 23 Jan 2021 3,228 posts	Quote Pin Tim of Fife What is the logic of the alcohol breaks please? Confused. On another note, found that "suppressed" for my town does indeed mean that we have three or fewer positive cases. Plus, statistically, one or two asymptomatic individuals.

geordiegirl Jan 2021 7:27pm, 23 Jan 2021 13,234 posts	Quote Pin geordiegirl I get that alcohol can affect many things including ability to fight infection but that article was rubbish (IMHO) don’t drink before and after your vaccine but if you do don’t drink much.... sounds like boris wrote it.
