A member asked:

Had a minor concussion almost two months ago and still suffer from minor post concussive syndrome, would it be safe to drink alcohol?

Dr. Ira Friedlander answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

If you are already: impaired it would be prudent to avoid things that might exacerbate or magnify the impairment you are already experiencing. Alcohol is not a good idea in your current condition.
