While the gum graft is healing the tissue around your gums is really soft and is producing new blood vessels, and drinking alcohol hurts this procedure which makes the healing process take even longer making the pain even worse. To be safe wait at least a week or even two before consuming alcohol.

Wait at least 4/5 days before drinking. Alcohol will burn the surgical area, but if you really still do want to drink, I suggest straight shots
