It's surprising the number of people who drink after a concussion, I know I was guilty of doing it and wonder if my symptoms would have been less severe if I hadn't - all hindsight now.

I think you are wise to ease yourself back into work, I'm sure you will have to pace yourself initially as the brain takes a lot more time to repair than a muscle or even a broken bone because it is so dense. It's easy to think we are better then over do things and realise, usually with disappointment, that we are not quite there...yet.
