People with pharyngitis should not drink alcohol, as pharyngitis is mainly divided into two types: chronic pharyngitis and acute pharyngitis. Both types should avoid alcohol consumption.

Alcohol can significantly irritate the mucous membranes of the throat, especially in cases with existing inflammation. Drinking alcohol can directly stimulate the mucous membranes of the throat, causing redness, pain, and potentially triggering an acute episode of pharyngitis or exacerbating the existing inflammatory response.

In general, it is necessary to seek timely treatment for pharyngitis, along with regular follow-up exams. Diet management is important, and patients should avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and consuming spicy or irritating foods. Regular laryngoscope check-ups are recommended to monitor changes.
