How long do i have to wait to drink alcohol after wisdom teeth extraction?

Wait at least 1 week: You probably will be recovering from sedation and you may be on strong narcotic pain medications. Having alcohol in the mix is dangerous. Also, alcohol delays healing.

Wait a while: Mixing alchohol with narcotics is a recipe for disaster. If you were put to sleep for the procedure, the medications will still be in your system until metabolized.
