Question

After getting your wisdom teeth out, how long should you wait to have an alcoholic drink?

Answer 1

No alcohol thins your blood and you are trying to clot yours after surgery.  Also using a straw is a sure fire way to get dry sockets and that is really painful.

Good luck,

Answer 3

ummm u cant drink out of a straw you will get dry sockets!!! and you should probably wait until u are off the meds!!!

Answer 4

I didn't wait...use a straw

Answer 5

With wisdom teeth your more worried about food getting caught in the stitches. Alcohol does thin your blood so maybe wait a day or two until any bleeding has stopped but after that I don't see any reason why you couldn't have a drink.

Answer 6

til your off the pain killers

edit: It's SOOOO important to NOT use a straw!! The suction will pull out your stiches and/or make you bleed!!

Answer 7

about  3 days.if you are on meds you have to wait till they are gone
