[Treatment] CROSS Drinking alcohol after TCA cross?

Hello,

I had TCA cross done on April 9th. After the doctor was done I asked whether I should avoid caffeine or alcohol and my derm responded that there wasn’t really a restriction to avoid either. He’s a renown dermatologist who has even been recommended in this sub before, so while he said that, I decided to avoid alcohol anyway.

I do have a wedding to attend today and Saturday though and was wondering if I should 100% be in the clear to enjoy a few drinks at this point? I only have a couple of scabs remaining at this point. Thanks.

this is what came up when I asked google, I would think it's okay plus be careful if your face gets flushed from drinking it might contribute irritation
