A member asked:

How many days i should wait after an appendectomy to drink beer and alcohol again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No time frame: You should avoid alcohol if you are taking pain medication with a narcotic component. It's ok to resume alcohol intake when off the narcotic pain meds, but do so in moderation. Hope this helps!
