Some things: It would be best to avoid any carbonated or bubbly drinks for the first few days (may effect the blood clot in the sockets). You need to avoid alcohol if you are taking pain medication. My best advice would be to ask your surgeon for more details.

Carefully: Yes, no straw. Avoid carbonated or alcoholic beverages for a few days. Ask oral surgeon for complete instructions.

You can drink: Drink lots of water from the glass after the surgery. You should avoid alcoholic, carbonated or hot beverages in the first 24 hours. Get well soon.

No: abstain from alcohol for at least 24 hours after extraction. This will allow the body to heal and the area of extraction from irritation. Also if you are taking antibiotics and/or pain medication you should avoid taking alcohol as long as you are taking the meds. Alcohol could have serious side effects mixing with any medications
