I received a major concussion almost 4 months ago. the symptoms subsided approximately three weeks ago. is is safe to have beer or alcohol?

No: I would still avoid alcohol for at least 4-6 weeks after resolution of symptoms. Remember that another head injury after a major concussion can be much more dangerous.
