A member asked:
Can i drink after a minor concussion?

No: Concussions are a type of brain injury. Your brain needs rest. While it is healing it is very sensitive to stress, such as drinking. Allow your brain to heal completely before resuming drinking alcohol.

No: Until your symptoms from the concussion have improved, you should avoid alcohol, narcotic pain medications, driving and playing sports.
