I'm 1 week post neograft FUE hair transplant, 1500 grafts. Is it safe to drink alcohol and go to the beach?

tysonjames123
On Thurs (8/27) I had a neograft FUE hair transplant done. 1500 grafts. I went back to my doctor today (6 days after surgery) and he said I was healing very nicely. He said I could resume working out at the gym if I wanted. I also asked him about Labor Day Weekend b/c I'm going with some friends to the beach. He said I can go on the beach as long as I don't submerge my head in water and I wear a hat. He also gave me the "go ahead" to drink alcohol this weekend. (I drink responsibly.) Thoughts?
