Alcohol definitely makes you sleep better (or at least fall asleep faster), but as far as the immune system is concerned- stay away while you're sick. Not to mention if you're taking other medicines, since mixing them with alcohol is so so so bad for your liver and kidneys.

Look, I'll be the first one at the bar to tip a few when I'm feeling well, but if it's night time and you're sick and feel like shit, just take a dose and a half of nyquil and you'll be out like a light. No need to drink. That is, unless you don't have nyquil in the house but you do have booze. If that's the case, take 2-3 shots and call it a night!
