A member asked:
For what length of time do i have to wait after pulling out teeth before consume alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
24 hours: You should wait at least 24 hours before consuming alcohol because alcohol may thin the blood and cause delayed or poor healing of the extraction site. This can lead to infection or a dry socket.
