Quick one: Do I reeeaaallly need to avoid alcohol with this injury??

[snufflehuff]

I hit my cheek bone on something today. It's left a definite mark and my face still hurts. But I'm meant to be going on a long-overdue night out for cocktails tonight.

I need to avoid alcohol, don't I?

Why??

Concussion

I don't see why you'd need to? Unless you're taking strong pain killers

Go on your night out and if you need to go home then call back :)

Sorry cross post, did you hit your head aswell as cheek bone?

I fell over on something really hard. Felt a bit dazed after. I also had a headache for a while.

Just my cheekbone, but I had a headache after.

Of course not! Unless you're on strong painkillers or antibiotics why would you?

Only you know how you feel. Could you make sure you have a glass of water with your drink?

Like I said, you should be fine unless on strong pain killers

Ok, that's great! I'll just have a couple.

Thank you!

Enjoy your night OP :)
