Not for 2 months to be safe.
In most cases when you have bone grafting done you will be prescribed antibiotics and which is contraindicated in most cases with alcohol consumption.
I would wait until the surgical site heals completely.
You can drink alcohol if you are not on any antibiotics.
Alcohol consumption is not indicated after a surgery especially not knowing if your dentist has prescribed you medication
After a week or two, consumption of alcohol will most likely not cause any complication. The concerns are more with the sutures and or membrane protecting the bone graft which are on the surface above the graft, than the graft itself. I would suggest you ask the surgeon caring for you what their guidelines are.
No.
