A member asked:
Its been two and a half weeks since my wisdom teeth extraction and my sockets are almost closed is it safe to consume alcohol?

Yes you can drink alcohol but in moderation. Keep sockets clean and perform good oral hygiene. Don't drive after a few drinks[2] , your too young to cause future problems.

As always, don't drink and drive. At this point you are pretty safe regarding issues with your extractions.
