Can I drink alcohol in moderation? If not, when can I do so?

Question

Hello, I had a tooth extracted this Wednesday. I was told that I can't do any intense physical activity, don't drink with a straw, don't eat too hard etc, so as not to trigger an alveolitis. Hello, not only advils/tylenol.

Hello, Have you been prescribed pain medication? This is what could limit the consumption of alcohol. I am waiting for your answer, Marie-Laurence Gauthier, pharmacist. At this time it is possible to drink alcohol in moderation. Be sure to eat (as you were advised after your surgery) as alcohol can be irritating to the stomach as can Advil. I wish you a speedy recovery. Marie-Laurence Gauthier, pharmacist.
