I would say so. Your mind is healing, and alcohol deteriorates the brain.
Is that why you have a concussion?

Not wise.
i would say yes but im not a Dr
yes it is bad ,dont drink any
It is scary you would even want to. I don't know if it is bad for you, but would not risk getting drunk and falling on my head again, ya know?
You can if you are willing to to accept the possible consequences... Your brain is already somewhat scrambled, what's a little more?
NEVER drink alcohol when you are 'concussed' ... the alcohol can make the 'bad symptoms' of the concussion even WORSE, and if you are already 'vomiting' from the concussion, and you drink 'too much' (ANY alcohol is too much) you can cause 'worse vomiting' and actually get 'concussed' all over again.
drinking alcohol thins your blood and if you drink it while you have a serious wound it will cause blood clots and can be very dangerous.
