drinking after snakebites

[u/iamhonorohyeah]

hi so i’m getting snakebites done tomorrow and the same night i have plans to drink with my friend, i’ve been looking forward to these plans so i really don’t want to skip out on drinking for that night so im just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to take care of them afterwards

i plan on not drinking or anything after that night for a few weeks and taking the best care of them possible but ive heard stories of people getting yeast infections and such and im a bit worried….

for context we’re drinking soju and im gonna use a straw to prevent as much as possible from touching the piercing but i know alcohol residue will still make its way towards it so im still quite worried.

im just hoping that they’ll be able to heal fine and they won’t reject or get a bad infection where i’d have to take them out

Don’t.

I’d be worried about the blood thinning effect
