Moderate: To little not to interfere with your meds. If you are taking any., and since it's been more than 48 hours(three days to be exact)'not too much since consuming alcohol reduce the speed of healing and of course maintain good oral hygiene to insure fast healing.

Not recommended: After extracting a tooth or following any type of oral surgery, it is advisable to wait at least 48 hours before having an alcoholic beverage. After that time, it should not be a problem to drink alcohol. If the dentist or surgeon has prescribed antibiotics or opioids to decrease the risk of infection and reduce pain then alcohol might interact with the medication and delay the healing process.
