A member asked:

I suffered a minor concussion last saturday, april 23. since, i have been resting and my symptoms have gone away. is it safe to consume alcohol now?

Take it easy: Might be OK to have one beer or glass of wine, but be aware that you could be sensitive and over-react at this point. When you try it, definitely do NOT drive, until you are sure you are back to normal.
