Yes: You should not drink in first 24 hours, because if received sedation it can potentiate effect of alcohol and can be dangerous for you.

Yes: The alcohol will interacts with any pain narcotic medication you have been given. If you just had a local anesthetic then it is not a problem.

Depends: If you are having a procedure performed under local anesthesia alone, drinking alcohol afterwards may not create any problems. If you are sedated, drinking alcohol immediately afterwards definitely could create some possible problems. With either scenario, drinking alcohol in combination with any pain medications that may be prescribed would not be advised.

It will destroy your brain cells, damage testicular cells that make testosterone, facilitate development of cancer in many organs, cause hepatitis, cirrhosis and pancreatitis etc. There is no safe level of alcohol intake. Quit while you are ahead.
