Thank you for your reply. On Saturday I have a party where I wanted to drink alcohol. It will be the 10th day since the tooth was extracted. In general, I don't have pain anymore, only sometimes it pulls me slightly when I move suddenly, and today for the first time I started biting on the side on which the tooth was not extracted, because so far I have only eaten meals in liquid form, not requiring chewing. I still have the impression that something is sitting in the place where the tooth was extracted, is it possible that these are stitches?
And I have another question, if alcohol irritates the mucous membranes and affects blood clotting, can it cause the stitches to burst and blood to start flowing from the wound again or is it rather impossible after 10 days?

To @Kubson:
The symptoms you describe are quite typical for the healing process after tooth extraction, especially if it is only the 6th day after the procedure. Slight pain, a pulling sensation when bending down, or a taste in the mouth may result from the natural process of tissue regeneration and dissolution of stitches. However, if the taste in the mouth is unpleasant, resembles purulent, or the wound begins to emit an alarming smell, it is worth consulting a dentist to rule out infection.
Please remember that alcohol irritates the mucous membranes and can slow down the healing process, which promotes infections. In addition, it can affect blood clotting and hinder tissue regeneration. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid alcohol for at least 7-10 days after the procedure, and in case of any disturbing symptoms, it is better to seek medical advice.

The dentist did not tell me to take antibiotics. It's hard for me to say if the wound healed well. Today is the 6th day since the wisdom tooth was extracted. I had dissolvable sutures. The symptoms I have are such a strange taste in my mouth and once in a while it is like drilling in this place and when bending down, such a slight pull, but it is not a strong pain, I do not take painkillers, blood is also no longer flowing from the wound. I also try to eat meals in liquid form. Are these slight pains that I have a normal symptom after pulling out?
And if the wound is not properly healed, what can cause drinking alcohol?

To @Kubson:
Drinking alcohol, including vodka, 10 days after a tooth extraction can theoretically be safe, provided that the wound from the tooth extraction has healed properly and there are no signs of complications. If you have been taking antibiotics, drinking alcohol may be contraindicated.
And can you drink vodka 10 days after tooth extraction?

If no medications are taken (e.g. analgesics, antibiotics) and at least 24 hours have passed since the procedure and you do not feel any discomfort at the place of tooth extraction, you can drink one beer.
Thank you for the answer I do not mean stronger alcohol only symbolic beer two besides bleeding does not threaten anything more?

It is not recommended to consume alcohol for at least 24 hours after the procedure, and it is best to abstain until the gum has healed. Alcohol, especially stronger, can stimulate blood flow in the gums and lead to uncontrolled bleeding from wounds after tooth extraction.
