About half an hour's wait should suffice before you take liquid orally, but make sure it is not hot and better still, make it cold. Hot drinks can precipitate bleeding. It would be a good idea not to wash your mouth vigorously after an extraction, lest you dislodge the blood clot.

AnswerYou should wait for 3 - 4 days or until your dentist checks you again (whichever comes first.) Having any tooth pulled (wisdom teeth are difficult at best) tears the gums and your dentist has probably packed the gum down by the bone and stitched each one. If you are on pain killers DON'T DRINK! Alcohol will make you bleed more. If you don't have much pain and you aren't on pain killers then 2 days after the pullings your dentists may say it is okay to drink alcohol. Give the gums a little time to heal.

You may drink alcohol after having your wisdom teeth extracted only if you are not taking any pain medication. However, since you are to refrain from 'spitting' for at least 24 hours after having an extraction, it would not be wise to overindulge in alcohol and make yourself sick. That would put you at risk of developing a very painful dry socket (losing the clot at the extraction site).

You can drink right afterwards (maybe wait until the numbness gets a little better so you don't drool so much). If you don't drink, you'll get dehydrated. Just don't drink through straws (which can dislodge the clot that needs to start forming) and avoid Carbonated Beverages (soda) and really hot or cold things.

You can't until the tooth is fully healed/closed-up as alcohol can speed up circulation/blood flow and cause you to bleed more not to mention it can freshen up the wound. We all have varying time-spans for healing but make sure that before you drnk it has been a day since the wound has already closed-up/healed.
