A member asked:
Wisdoms tooth extraction, can i drink alcohol 2 days later?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Why?: Let's say you had a small operation on your arm and had a slightly open wound there. Lets say the operation was done two days ago. Would you pour a scotch or bourbon over the wound and think it would have no affect?

Not recommended: If no complications, you should have a stable clot after 24-48 hours following extractions, so after 3-4 days you can consume alcohol in moderation.

Alcohol interferes w clotting. if you loose the clot the result will probably be a dry socket. And why pour alcohol over a fresh wound unless you delight in pain.
