No, it's best not to drink before and after cupping. The main function of cupping is to regulate qi and blood. After alcohol enters the blood, it will paralyze the vascular movement center, respiratory center and surrounding blood vessels, and form methemoglobin, which will lead to a certain degree of blood pressure decline, which conflicts with the conditioning principle of cupping.

Extended data 1. Pay attention to keep warm after cupping, so as to avoid cold color entering the body, which is counterproductive and aggravates the condition.

2. People with chronic lung disease can cause alveolar rupture.

Patients with basic lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, tuberculosis, lung abscess, bronchiectasis, etc., are not suitable for cupping. Pulmonary inflammation is usually accompanied by alveolar injury or pulmonary fluid retention. If cupping is used, the pressure in the chest cavity will change sharply, which will lead to the rupture of pulmonary bullae on the lung surface, thus causing spontaneous pneumothorax.
