Question:
How long after LASIK/LASEK before you can drink alcohol?
Got a birthday party coming up!
Answers:
It's not so much the surgery that will keep you from alcohol, but the medications you may be taking.
They'll probably give you a mild sedative prior to the procedure - no alcohol after that.
Then, there's the scratchy/itchy sensation that can make it VERY hard to fall asleep, so you'll also get a sleeping pill. You can't have alcohol prior to taking a sleeper.
But by the third day after the procedure, you shouldn't have problems.
