It is never a good idea to drink alcohol or take any depressant medication after a head injury of any severity. "Mild" concussions have been known to turn into major events when a blood vessel bursts some time after the injury, or due to a successive injury.

In addition to the above, you should not take aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxin sodium (Aleve) unless you have been cleared or specifically told to by your doctor. If you need a pain reliever, take acetaminophen (Tylenol) after consulting with your physician.

No, that is not a good idea. It is best with a concussion to see a doctor if you haven't already and if it just happened don't go to sleep.
