The extraction should heal within 7 days. The teeth with the root canals are irrelevant in regards to alcohol and "regular food". If you are taking narcotic pain meds, it's a no go with drinks. Use your best judgement.

Root canals not affected by alcohol consumption, but important treated area be sealed, which probably means capping both teeth ASAP. As to missing tooth, it may have to be replaced (implant/crown or bridge). See your Dentist as soon as possible. As to extraction site, about alcohol for a full week post surgeries alcohol can interfere with healing.
