Yes: A little bit of liquor should not be a problem for your aligners. Red wine and coffee have been known to stain the aligners, but i've personally not heard anything about liquor.

Yes: But if red wine gets between the clear retainer and your teeth, it'll look like you might be a vampire. So stick to white wine or other clear drinks!

Liquor: It may be preferable to remove you aligners before you imbibe alcohol. Although it is unlikely that the alcohol might effect the plastic unless they are "soaked" in large quantities over a long period of time. Moderation - - - and keep your aligners clean by brushing them.

Clear/ no sugar: As long as it is clear, no sugar or acid. That leaves vodka, gin, tequila on the rocks.

Yes: Only if it is clear. If there is any color it will get under the aligners and sit there. This will cause your teeth and buttons to stain. Best to remember to remove your aligners if you place anything that will stain a white shirt into your mouth. Including gums or mints.

Water only: I say this because of the components in alcohol that will ultimately break down into sugar. Oral bacterial needs a fermentable carbohydrate to make cavities. The issue is that the alcohol will end up inside the aligner bathing your teeth. I would recommend water only. If you are drinking anything else i would remove the aligner. The aligner needs to worn 22 out of 24 hours a day, ideally.

Yes but: You can consume alcohol while wearing the invisalign braces but you must rinse the trays and your teeth afterwards. Do not let the alcohol sit in the clear invisalign trays in your mouth as this can potentially cause cavities.

Yes and no: Alcohol will not harm the trays. Alcohol, however, contains sugars. Alcohol between tray and tooth will be attacked by bacteria, converted into acids, which will harm (decalcify) tooth surface. So risk of cavities/discoloration is higher if you drink anything sugary or acidic with trays in place. But if you take the trays out your teeth stop moving, and you're throwing away time and money.
