After 48 hours of a wisdom tooth removal, can you drink alcohol?

Pain meds: Alcohol in moderation would be ok. But remember that it will slow down the healing a bit and it certainly would be dangerous if alcohol is mixed with pain medicine. Rest, good nutrition, and time is ones best bet with healing from wisdom teeth extraction.

Wait 5-7 days: Not right away, alcohol can interfere with healing and could lead to a dry socket. Give the tissue 5-7 days to heal. When and if you do choose to drink alcohol, please do responsibly.
