Eventually: As with any trauma, it is best to wait for some healing before you splash some alcohol or acid on a wound. Sugars in alcoholic and soda beverages promote bacterial growth which can facilitate an infection. It is best to just stick to plain old water for a few weeks and keep the area nice and clean before resuming your normal habits.

It depends.: While i don't endorse tongue piercing in general, the tongue needs to heal in the initial days after piercing. You should stick to water or other non-irritating, sugar loaded beverages.
