Can you drink with a dry socket?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Straw: Do not drink through a straw for the first 48 hours after they are removed. And this includes not drinking any alcohol also.

Dry socket: A dry socket is an extraction site that has lost its clot. The bare bone is exposed causing pain. It will eventually heal with or without dental treatment. Drinking alcohol and mixing pain medication is never a good idea. Alcohol is never the answer to fixing a problem.
