i don't know how long it is contagious for but the symptoms can last for quite awhile. the acute phase (which is what you're going through) can last up to two months possibly longer. after that you can experience the fatigue and sore throat for months on end, just on a less severe scale. i had mono myself just this past february/march and i still experience the fatigue, sore throat, fever etc on occasion. what i'm not sure about is if this is still the mono or if my immune system is just shot because of the mono. either way...it can take awhile

okay im over the symptoms now.
i got over the symptoms after about 12 days.
now im just wondering, when can i drink alcohol agaain? and how long im actually contagious for.

i dunno. i was just told by my doctor (i had mono in march of this year) that i'm pushing too hard and i'm headed for a relapse. she told me quite specifically NO physical activity for the next year. which is hard because i work out everyday. i know that mono attacks your lymphatic which is the system in your body that processes toxins out. it's like the body's sewage system if you will. so as far as the alcohol is concerned, you'll be putting more toxins into a system that is already taxed. i mean by all means talk to your doctor. just seems a little silly to me to do that. but i could be wrong.

I've read you should wait anywhere from 2 months to a year before you drink again. Mono inflames your liver and drinking alcohol which damages it anyway will damage it a lot worse when it is inflamed.
