Avoid Alcohol!: Extraction, Dry Socket and Pain is uncomfortable. You would want the socket to form a blood clot. So Drinking anything with Alcohol could worsen things with its blood thinner properties. However , if you are not having any pain and its almost healing then one or two glass es of wine should not hurt. Hope this helps. Feel better.

Not wise: Too many things can go wrong. I'm sure non-alcoholic beverages will be available.

OK: If you're feeling better then attend but keep to one "social drink."
