Answers:
Well, there's two ways of looking at it really.

Drinking weakens your immune system so it could potentially make you more susceptible to an infection in your mouth.

On the other hand, alcohol is a good antiseptic. Rinsing a nice stiff shot of Wild Turkey 101 around in your mouth every 10 minutes will probably help it heal! LOL...

Good luck!Health Question & Answer

Basically the answer is that it is not a good idea to have alcohol if you are not going to stop at one glass. Your teeth will take a while to settle and under the influence of alcohol you could put different pressure on them or even move them and lose them for good. Any painkillers you are on will not mix with alcohol and if you are on antibiotics they will stop working so you could encourage an infection to develop.
