In short the answer is--kind of. Here's why: Valtrex's design is to stop viral growth and give your body a chance to fight off the virus. It is very effective. If you are drinking, you are dehydrating your body and making it work hard to filter out the poison. This is turn can weaken your immune system and not allow you to fire on all pistons to really crush the virus. BUT--your body will still eventually kill the virus (assuming a healthy immune system) and work with the valtrex's intended design. So the variables in question really surround your individual body's response to alcohol. Hope this helps.
