Can Alcohol Make Sore Throat Caused By Bronchitis Worse?

I had a semi bad case of bronchitis last week, but i have taken antibiotics and i have a puffer and its gotten much better. however when i thought it was just a sore throat and i didnt know it was bronchitis yet i drank some alcohol that night and i think it made it worse, or it was just getting worse because i was sick. my illness is 99% gone and i still use my puffer but in a couple days i may want to have a couple drinks, but not if it makes the bronchitis come back because my brother told me it brings down your immune system. thanks.
