Alright, those dirty bastards just yanked out my one and only wisdom tooth. I thought there would be a little more too it but they just reached in and pulled the fucker out.

Anyways..... to the point, anyone know if I can booze it? I'm not suppossed to rinse my mouth for 24 hours but it says it's permissible to drink cool or lukewarm liquids. Is Vodka what the doctor ordered??

This is important people!

Not one to condone undrunkenness, but alcohol thins blood and deters coagulation. With that in mind, do whatever you want.

Being a slightly more evolved homo sapien, I've never had wisdom teeth, and never will :P .

But, I did have an abscessed molar removed a few years back. 1 day before a weeklong hike in the Appalachians. Therefore, painkillers were a bad idea.

Whiskey/booze works great--dulls the pain, numbs the site, and is a disinfectant--my dentist was amazed at how well I healed when I went back, especially after I told I didn't touch the Vicodin, and had been in the woods for 7 days straight.

Teeth are the reason the goddess invented fermented and distilled liquids.
When the bottle of pills says "don't drink alcoholic beverages" simply figure 2 pills equals 1-3 drinks. I came into this world toothless, and ulless I want to go out that way, painkillers are a fact of life. Drink until the pain goes away. And if you're anything like me, you'll have some meds left over for later, when you really need them.

I think Vodka is exactly what the doctor ordered. Pop a few pills have a few shots and let the buzz take over.

I had a tooth pulled a couple years back, took the vicodin and washed it down with a couple shots of tequila then switched to my normal drinking mode of beers and vodka. I still had a tiny amount of pain but sure didn't care. Had quite a few pills left over when all was said and done. Only other precaution I took was to keep the crater from whence the tooth came filled with a wet piece of tissue/paper towel to keep it from going to a dry socket.

Of course you can drink. It's a good idea even! Rinsing your mouth with vodka is a damned fine idea! It will disinfect the area and prevent any infection that could lead to an abcess. You should ensure that the antibiotic that you were given is one that can be taken with alcohol (and most modern antibiotics can) and then away you go.
