I have just gotten over a bout of mono and the symptoms have quickly diminished over the last month. I've been 100% for the last week, and basically 90% for the past month. Research varies says you should avoid alcohol during mono, and at least a month afterwards because of elevated liver enzymes. Other sites say liver enzymes return to normal after about three months after the start of infection (which was about 2-3 months ago now I'm guessing). But the problem is I'm not exactly sure how or when I got mono so it's hard to say how long I have to abstain from alcohol.
I'm going out tomorrow night and I'm gonna avoid alcohol for a couple more weeks. There are gonna be a lot of girls there at this get together and they will ask why I'm not drinking. I don't think saying "oh it's because I had mono" is a great line because then I get all sorts of questions and connotations like "oh he must have got it from some random hoe" and of course there's always the idea in the back of their head that I could still be contagious. I don't want to kill the vibe or reduce my chances of hooking up because of an illness I had not too long ago.
