dear
i want to know weather drinking alcohalic drinks like wine affects our bodies immune system against catching cold or not?

Answer
Dear Ehsan,

Alcohol has a negative effect on the immune system. There is an increased incidence of infections among people who drink alcohol. Research this topic on Google (www.google.com) if you want further information.

I hope that this helps you.
