After brain surgery, how long do you have to wait to drink alchohol?

Awhile - 6weeks to 5: Alcohol will lower seizure threshold - a glass of wine maybe fine but i'd wait at least 6 weeks and more if you have had any seizures and never in excess.

Neurosurgery: The standard recommendation is three months, sometimes longer depending on the extent of the surgery.
