And what will be the consequences if you drink after being vaccinated against covid. Let’s figure it out.
3, 7, 21 or 42? How many days should I not drink alcohol after being vaccinated against coronavirus? This question has gained popularity akin to the Instagram page of a fashion blogger in just a month. And if only a glass? And if on the nose on February 23? And why not, what will be the consequences? Well, maybe you can still a little? Let’s figure it out.
Probably, the truth about the dangers of alcohol should be accepted as an axiom – you cannot drink after vaccination. The fact is that a vaccine is a kind of “training alarm” for every cell of the human body. When the drug enters the bloodstream, the cells are activated to fight the “enemy”. If alcohol enters the bloodstream at the same time as the vaccine, the cells “get drunk”, their actions are inhibited.
Scientifically speaking, alcohol can slow down or prevent the immune response to a vaccine. The procedure will only have a placebo effect – the patient can be sure that the vaccine should work, but the body will receive nothing besides psychological confidence.

“The interaction of the vaccine and alcohol can lead to unexplored side effects, including a weakening of the vaccine during the formation of the immune response,” explains Ruslan Isaev, president of the Independent Narcological Guild, a narcologist and expert of the Public Chamber.1.
How many days can you not drink alcohol after vaccination?
The specialists of the region, however, still have not come to a consensus – how many days alcohol should not be consumed after vaccination.
One of the most respected medical publications in the world, 2, has published the results of the third phase of clinical study of the Russian vaccine against coronavirus “Sputnik V”.
The text of the report mentions that an effective immune response to the vaccine is formed on the 21st day after the first injection of the drug and reaches its maximum value by the end of the second three-week phase – on the 42nd day, respectively:
“From the 15th to the 21st day after the first dose, the effectiveness was 73,6%, then, starting from the 21st day, the effectiveness was 100% … The rate of seroconversion (production of specific antibodies by the body. – Approx. Ed.) was calculated as a fourfold increase in titer after 42 days compared with the figure the day before the first vaccination. “
So, according to the analysis, all 42 days in the body of each recipient of the vaccine there was a reaction, which could be prevented by several factors: previously unreported diseases, immunodeficiency or alcohol intake, according to the study.

Director of the National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology named after N.F. Gamalei Alexander Gunzburg3 believes that after vaccination, you can limit yourself to a three-day dry law:
“Of course, we are not talking about a complete ban on alcohol during vaccination. It’s just about a reasonable restriction of consumption … And this is true not only for “Sputnik V”, but for any other vaccine. However, we strongly recommend that you refrain from alcohol for three days after each injection. “
To drink or not to drink is, of course, a rhetorical question. And each patient must answer it for himself. But even if we do not take into account the reflections on the secrets of medicine, we all know for sure that 42 days without toxin will at least give the skin a healthy color, which in itself is a good effect in the conditions of this unpredictably cold winter.
