How long should you wait to drink alcohol after a ruptured achilles tendon surgery if not on meds?

Do not: Why do you need alcohol for? It is the worse poison to your nervous system.After a surgery there should be much more important issues to deal with.

A very long time.: We know that alcohol has negative effects on your cerebellum which is related to balance and coordination. And we also know that people who drink suffer falls. It would be a rare day that i would take a chance like that after needing surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon!
