Brief Answer:
you can have 1. not more than that
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Seeing your query you are still in recovery phase of chicken pox as you mentioned 17.2.16 date. So its just 3 days back.
Your immunity level is still on lower side and alcohol does temporarily reduces it further.
Also it will give you bad gastritis if you take 2 or 3 drinks.
You should ideally wait atleast 1 week to 10 days after you get full cured to resume drinking.
For now seeing the circumstances I can advice you to have maximum 1 can of beer that too have slowly and stop immediately if you are feeling any gastric burning or esophageal burn.
Have meat in lower quantities as it can also make gastric upset.
Hope this advice helps you. If you have any questions kindly ask me back.
Thank you
