A member asked:

Mild concussion 1 week ago. ct scan was clear. symptoms gone besides mild headache every once in a while. can i drink? mild chest pain /cramp, too.

Be careful: occasional small amounts of alcohol should be OK. Avoid excess drinking. Most importantly, avoid all contact sports until you are symptom free. Hope this helps!
