Will not be affected

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Drinking brandy 15 days into your infection will not affect you in any way. You can start drinking in moderation however if you have been put on antiviral agents I suggest you to restrict to just 1 drink a day to protect your liver function

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

I wish you good health and a speedy recovery

Regards
