LoL That's Exactly What I Asked Once Before And To Be Totally Honest...The Answer Is NOOOOOO!
It May "Sound" Good And Sweet For A Cure But Truthfully...It Doesn't Do Any Good At All, It Just Makes Your Sickness Worse (Sucks I Know) :)
All You Really Need To Do Is Let The Sickness Take Over For As Long As It Takes, Drink Lots Of Water (No Juice Or Anything With Sugar And Caffeine) And Get Lots Of Rest. Oh And also Eat Mainly Soup If You Can, Hope You'll Get Cured Right Away!Health Question & Answer

Oh my goodness, do NOT drink rubbing alcohol!!!! It will harm you, possibly kill you. As for any other kind of alcohol when youy are fighting a virus or infection, NO. While it is true that alcoholic beverages might help take away some of the aches for a short time, and probably make you not care so much that you are sick, alcohol dehydrates and depletes your body. When you are sick is not the time you want to be dehydrated or depleted. When you are ill, it is best that you stay AWAY from alcoholic beverages.Health Question & Answer

I think the answer is "NO!". If you think of it this way...alcohol is a poison. That is why it makes you feel the way it does. That is why your liver needs to de-toxify your body when you drink. That is why you wake up so tired in the morning. Your body is working so hard to get rid of the poison.
Adding a poison to an already suppressed system is NOT A BRILLIANT IDEA! People who drink will always find a reason to drink!Health Question & Answer

That would make it worse. You would be better to drink water or juice.Health Question & Answer
