You should have no issues drinking a beer from a filling done the day before.
Depending what filling was done, in general , patients can eat and drink , especially after 24 hours. IF any further doubts, should contact your Dentist. Hope this Helps. Cheers !

It is generally recommended to avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours after a filling, as it can irritate the gums and slow the healing process. This is especially true if the filling was placed in a tooth that was infected or decayed, as these types of fillings may take longer to heal.

It is also important to avoid drinking alcohol or using tobacco products while you are taking any medications prescribed by your dentist, as these substances can interfere with the effectiveness of the drugs.

If you are unsure about whether it is safe to drink alcohol after a filling, it is best to consult with your dentist or oral surgeon. They will be able to advise you on the best course of action based on your specific case.

In general, it is important to follow your dentist's instructions carefully and to take care of your teeth and gums to ensure that they heal properly and that you maintain good oral health. This may involve avoiding certain activities or foods, taking medications as prescribed, and practicing good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing regularly.
If you’re not on any medication and you have normal liver function and you’re not diabetic or have an alcohol problem then have at it! Cheers

Yes you can. A simple filling should have set by now.
Yes you can and you can eat too! If you're still numb, just be careful not to bite or chew your cheek, lip or tongue!
Your filling will not be affected by having a beer. Just drink responsibly and don't use your teeth to open the can. :)
