How Safe Is Alcohol Consumption During Concussion?

Hello.
I have read your query. Even if it was a concussion, you should wait until you have no symptoms in order to start to work again. Alcohol use may exacerbate concur symptoms, so, it is advisable to avoid for a couple of weeks its use.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
