Drinking alcohol tends to thin the blood temporarily which might result in the socket bleeding. If you are taking pain killers this would also be a contraindication to drinking alcohol. It depends how long it has been since the tooth was extracted but when I had one extracted I had instructions for aftercare to follow for three days so this could be a good guideline for you.
