Depends on kind of: Morphine. If you were taking a long-acting preparation (ms contin, Kadian (morphine) or generics), i would recommend waiting at least 48 hours. In any case, it should not be more than a couple. Alcohol impairs both our immune system and our ability to form fibrous tissue necessary for healing.
