Tommy,

Nobody can say if the alcohol will make your recovery worse. What can be said is that you need to learn to moderate your drinking. The previously concussed brain responds differently to alcohol. To a concussed brain, alcohol is poison.

Getting drunk is definitely not good. Getting buzzed is seriously questionable. An occasional drink is OK. You should aim for staying below .04 BAC, half the legal limit for driving.

Getting drunk can be similar to suffering another concussion, only its damage to the brain is different.
