Merry fecking Christmas.
There's no evidence that drinking after jabbing is a problem, according to the MHRA.
And, if there was a problem, it would have shown up by now.
Which jab did you have - Astra Zeneca or Pfizer? And what side effects?

Yes the no alcohol thing appears to have originated from sources such as comments by a Russian doctor and a press release by Drinkaware. There’s no clinical basis for it.

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
Both of my jabs were on a Saturday, I had 2 x 500cl bottles of cider after the first and one after the second so I have now started wondering. Googling it seems to indicate that it's the modern version of an old wives tale. The only thing at mine they told me I couldn't drive for 15 mins but that's all.
Getting completely blasted when you're feeling under the weather is probably not the best idea going but there doesn't seem to be any evidence that the odd drink will have neutralise the Covid vaccine (or any other)

In the absense of further evidence either way I would tend to employ standard 'moderation' principals. Including for the reason that there is always a chance that if you overdo it, and then have side effects from the jab that require attention, yu might be tempted to incorrectly attribute them to a hangover instead.

Don't drink after your jab because if you get the flu-like side effects you're gonna be fucked. Same reason you shouldn't start a 10 mile hike immediately after getting your jab. You know when you get a bad cold or a stomach bug and you lie there thinking "if only I knew this was coming, I would have been more prepared for it"? Well nows your chance. Get your vaccine, stock up on ready meals, get your washing up done and you'll be left with a couple hours to ease yourself into the migraine muscle fatigue hell that awaits

Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
My side effects on the first one did feel like a hangover, so I thought may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb and got on the lash.
muscovyduck : That's all worst-case-scenario though surely?
Don't get me wrong, the precautionary principle suggests people be sensible and cautious (and maybe only have just one pint the afternoon/evening following, or something
-- although I was a bit more reckless than just one! 
)
But plenty of people, myself included, reporting here have had low/few/no side-effects to speak of.

I had mine 6 weeks apart but I cheated*. The leaflet they gave me said from 3 to 12 weeks apart so should be fine.
*NHS England didn't know NHS Scotland had jabbed me once already so I booked '1st' and '2nd' then cancelled the '2nd' after I got the '1st' yesterday.
In the grounds that a pint of beer a day already puts you at the recommended maximum units per week anyway, can you not forgo that pint for one single day just on a precautionary basis?muscovyduck : That's all worst-case-scenario though surely?

48 hours after my second AZ and I feel the best I've felt for ages. Had a good sleep, and this morning i woke ready for the day, in good spirits and full of energy 
When I had my jab the nurse told me to relax my arm just before and I didn't even feel the needle going in, just an odd sensation when she actually injected me. She also told me to avoid an achey arm to drink loads of water ("and I mean loads, like 2 - 3 litres). I managed a few pints (over a few hours) and my arm had been fine... I've been digging in the garden for the last hour or so

Dust.
Alcohol intake (both acute and chronic) long estalbished to effect degrees of immunosuppression, modulating both innate and adaptive immune responses. If you are seeking your optimal personal vaccine mediated response then probably best to avoid for weeks before, during and after a course of vaccination.

Bit of a random question.
Had my second AZ jab on Sunday. And have a nasty headache today.
Probably nothing but I can't help thinking that headaches are a symptom of blood clots. I don't have any other symptoms so like I said sure it is nothing.
Anyone got a clue what the time frame is for this? I got the impression it took a while after the jab for there to be any issues anyway?

Four or more days after is the guidance.

Don't worry about timeframe, any doubts at all you should go to A&E or at least call your GP or 111 for advice if you're worried about wasting hospital time! Tell them what you told us. Hopefully just a side effect and you'll feel better soon. Keep us posted! Good luck.

I had my first Pfizer jab on Saturday. I had some soreness in my upper arm which commenced that evening and lasted through Sunday and Monday. Monday and today I've been having a headache; not a proper banger, but still bad enough that last night I had to take the last 2 of my ibuprofen I had lying around. I consider all of these to be very minor side effects, and certainly more preferable than the symptoms of live Covid and and the possibility of suffering from Long Covid...

Grrrr they have inexplicably cancelled my first vaccine on 15th and rescheduled it for 22nd... just got a text with no warning etc.
So annoying, that day doesnt work so well for me. Ive talked to the pharmacy and theyre going go give me a ring if there are any cancellations.

Had my 2nd yesterday. Felt really tired and thirsty. Today I'm getting stabbing pains in my ears but nothing like the 1st hell. I've discovered I can't lift my arm enough to point directions without growling tho.
