can you drink day after tooth out

[southeastastra]

googling varies wildy, some say ok after 24 hours, other say wait 72 hours.

you're not on ab's are you mate?

no

NO!!

It thins the blood i think so poss a clotting issue in socket. I would leave as long as poss, you want that clot to stay put or you could end up with dry socket which is nasty.

why so Goober, I am only guessing?

No booze. No fags. No drinks thru straws.
Have an ice cream!

Alcohol thins blood.

Ah. Thanks. Why no straws? Ah yes the sucking action can dislodge clot also.

I would

The reason I am so bossy is cos I had dry socket last summer. For 10 days. Agony!

lol random, no fags no booze poor me

what caused your dry socket goober?

Nobody advised me what to do/not to do after extraction.
It bled for ages I kept rinsing.
Ate normal food the same day.

Ice cream.

how soon did you get it after extraction goober?

i only have ice cream with chunks of honeycomb in it, didn't plan this well food wise

3rd day.
Put your ice cream through the blender?

managed to find some strawberry ice cream and about 25 zoom lollies (!)

amazing how you crave things when you can't have them.

Its shit for you, but will be for the best in longrun.
If it helps; I am off the sherbert too.

i really don't want dry socket, it already has a tiny bit of food in it that i'm paranoid about.

why are you off the booze? (although i'm not a lush unless it's friday)

Am on health-kick. Haven't had a drop since January!
It is like having a barney with your best friend and you are not allowed to talk to her anymore. My DH still talks to her though!!!!

awww sea, it totally sucks.
hope you feel better tomorrow

well done! i need to stop drinking but gave up smoking three weeks ago and don't want my body to go into shock

thanks jean, tempted to knit something (must be desperate)
