Thank you for asking!
Stitches in the mouth for a jaw surgery will make the use of beer impossible and not advised. Use soft diet and oral mucosa friendly.These beverages will lead to aphthous ulcers and oral discomfort. I would say stay away from beer and find a friendly way to celebrate the mothers fay with you mom.
take care
