I am 83 years old have copd which u know creates mucus iI take med to counter it but its hard to get loose. I have found that a few beers at night helps get the mucus loose so I can get relief. I get lot of static from family about me using beer.whats ur opinion
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, beer can not cause loosening of mucus and makes it easier to cough out. In fact beer should be avoided in COPD patients because beer can cause sedation and thus worsens COPD. So don't Chat Doctor.  Better to consult pulmonologist and start bucolic and expectorant
