seriously?  I don;t think it would matter unless you  got plastered and passed out and hit your head again or something rad like that.

dude, i got a concussion a few months ago and they said if i got another one, i would potentially have serious brain damage. u might wanna go to the doctors, caus it could be problematic. altho my concussion was a serious one, a bike hit me in the back of the head, that sucked.

No dude. They specifically say no alcohol for 48 hours after being concussed.

word^ its probably a bad idea...especially if you just got over a previous concussion. 1 or 2 beers can wait until you're fully healed

fucking hilarious joke... what, you think you're the first insecure little girl to come up with that?

you suffered a brain injury and now you're asking whether or not it's a good idea to use a mind-altering substance?  go for it!  natural selection at its finest!

wait up, you were cleared from concussion yesterday, and then slightly concussed again today?

Thats really bad man, how long ago were you concussed the last time?

When you get KO'd it means your brain has taken a significant hit, it takes 2-3 weeks to heal (the first time anyway)

If you get concussed more than 3 times in your life it will increase your chances of aquiring brain problems later on. Like Ali.

Take 2 weeks off from rugby and definately invest in a helmet!

Stop being such a pussy. It is isn't a big deal if you drink with a concussion. Don't listen to that faggotty doctor, 4 years of med school just turned him into a bitch. A little whiskey can cure any broken synapses.

But seriously, it's fine. All these 16 year old are spouting bullshit. Nothing will happen, you will get drunk. The end.

How many of you kids have ever actually drank with a concussion? 2 weeks? really? What are you in 8th grade? I haven't went 2 weeks with drinking in 6 years, concussions and all. Look at me, I still kick ass.

your awesome man.

I never said dont drink for 2 weeks, i said dont play contact sport, especially rugby because your at a much higher risk of getting concussed while your head/brain is recovering.

Anyway, i agree he would of been fine, if he was geniunely concussed the last thing on your mind would be alcohol...

This post made me want to stand up and cheer "Yeah!" - haha. But I also think you meant *I haven't went 2 weeks without drinking in 6 years*. But you still kick ass.
