Drinking after a concussion.

i got what i would consider a pretty bad concussion riding on sunday. dont know how i did it since i was riding by myself. "woke up" at the bottom of the run. sat down on a bench had no idea where i was for about 15 minutes. slowly began realizing where i was and what was going on. got back to my condo. didnt ride the next day. had a slight head ache. rode tuesday and wednesday. feel fine but when i think about it i dont really feel 100% there in the head but i think its just me trippin myself out. now its my birthday this weekend and so naturally i plan on drinking a lot but now im tripped out since everything online says not to drink until your doctor tells you too after a concussion. now since i didnt go to a doctor im wondering if anyone else who has had a concussion knows if i shouldnt drink this weekend and what the effects would be if i chose to.

heres a fun story regarding myself, concussions, and college. as light of a read as i can put it:

got a slight concussion in a rugby game, felt kinda woozy but nothin too serious, went skiing a few days later (it was the spring) and fell off a rail, helmet first to jersey's ice.

it wasnt even too bad of a fall but the close proximity of the two (from what i learned later) made it worse.

felt weird for a day and slept it off, next night i smoked with some friends and did NOT feel myself whatsoever. took another day off, then the next night, a thursday, naturally a bar night, went out and had some drinks.

also diddnt feel too hot.

next night i got talked into smoking some sick green with some friends and this was the beginning of the shithole that was the next few days. starting bugging out cuz i was pseudo tripping in the car and when we came back in the house i kept asking if anyone else felt weird and if it was laced cuz i was fuckedddd.

next day in class, sober, the walls start moving. i shit u not, i love mushrooms and it was doing the same shit, sober. and i was NOT having that.

quick run to the ER and i find out i had post concussive syndrome, due to the closeness of the two, and the alcohol and weed just fuckd it up worse, so i just had to deal with feeling shitty mentally for the next few days and no skiing/rugby for a couple weeks. needless to say it sucked


i dont know exactly what will happen with u cuz u only had one and it doesnt seem like ur too fucked but take it from me if ur feeling kinda weird and shitty whilst drinking, BACK OFF. totally not worth it man it was such a shitty week. u can always go out the next weekend, or the next 4 weeks straight if ur doin college the right way. play it safe guy.

I hit my head the other weekend and think I got a mild concussion.  I decided to take the day off from skiing and just film/drink.  I got so faded so quickly that I couldn't even remember I was filming.

I got a mild concussion last friday, didnt get knocked out, remember most of everything, doc at the clinic said to just take night off from drinking and just have a social drink or two the next night. Needless to say i drank a far amount on that saturday night and was fine. Went back to skiing wednesday (powder) and plan to park ski tomorrow, a week after.

Don't do it's a bad idea. You can get permanent brain damage because it stuffs with the chemicals in the brain and can cause swelling. 

I had a huge fall got knocked out for a bit drank 5 days later apparenlty it prolonged my concussion from like a week to threee weeks later I still had headaches. 

You could be lucky but chances are it's not worth it.

Stop being such a pussy. It is isn't a big deal if you drink with a concussion. Don't listen to a faggotty doctor, 4 years of med school just turned him into a bitch. A little whiskey can cure any broken synapses.

But seriously, it's fine. Nothing will happen, you will get drunk. The end.

How many of you kids have ever actually drank with a concussion? Give it several weeks? really? What are you in 8th grade? I haven't went several weeks without drinking in 6 years, concussions and all. Look at me, I still kick ass.

If you only had a headache for one day and were riding two days later without head pain your it's probably not that serious.

i don't feel like you had a bad concussion
my buddy got a bad one
puking for 2 days and just SOOOO fucking lost

I already had quite a few concussions and i once drank right after it
it was a mellow concussion, didn't pass out, just had this deja vu feeling and headaches, I drank like 5 or 6 beers the night of and felt good.
I'm guessing you'll be fine
but who really knows till you do it??

OP, at least 5 anonymous Internet people in this thread have drank after a concussion so it definitely looks like a good idea.
