Bar +* Cold?

Ugh.  I have a cold so I am loading up on Vitamin C, hot liquids, Halls, and Cold FX.  But, FI and I have tickets for a local concert tonight and I still want to go.  I'm not "too sick to go out" or anything, it's just a cold, but would I be fine having a few Palm Bays or Bacardi Breezers?  My FI thinks it won't affect anything, and I wouldn't drink except I am so thirsty today and I feel like it is a complete rip off for what you pay for bottled water and non-alcoholic drinks at this bar (and others).  Also, I avoid fountain drinks (pop or something from the tap thing into a glass/cup) because it might have some wheat contamination and I am a Celiac. 

Edited to fix title (plus instead of equals)

Second the one or two and no more drinks. But double check the meds to see if they are like NO ALCOHOL YOU WILL DIE warnings.

Check all of the boxes to see if there's a warning about using alcohol with them.  I know you cannot drink while taking anything with acetaminophen (like tylenol or nyquil). You also need to drink a lot of non-alcoholic fluids when you have a cold, and alcohol makes you more dehydrated. As my non-professional personal advice, I'd say you'd be fine with one or two drinks (if there's no interactions/warnings on the labels) but no more than that. If you do drink, make sure you have a lot of water too. 

I second this. Hope you feel better soon. (((Doeydo))
