Answers:
There are certain types of alcohol that will knock a cold out of your system.It will not help sinusitis in my opinion. Particularly because sinusitis is an infection and needs to be treated with antibiotics.A shot of whiskey w/lemon is an old remedy that was used for colds back in the day. But I would advise that for sinusitis. Health Question & Answer

The only way I can think of it would help is that you are taking in fluids, which can help with congestion. The problem is, you can't take any medications once you drink! So, I'd try tea and an over-the-counter decongestant. Health Question & Answer
