can you drink Monster energy drinks with a brand new tongue piercing?
June 2nd, 2009
I just got my tongue pierced a few days ago, and it feels like it’s healed pretty good so far. I want to drink a Monster energy drink, but I don’t know if it will screw up the healing process.
since monster has alot of sugar in it, its not a good idea to drink it for about a couple weeks…i had my tongue pierced when i was 15, then had to have it redone again for my 19 birthday. both times, they told me that if i wanted to drink/eat anything with sugar, i had to rinse with mouthwash right afterwards. as long as you always rinse afterwards, you should be good. lol i got tired of rinsing so much, i lived on sugar free jello for a week or two.
It most likely will slow down the healing process, and has a chance of infecting the piercing itself. It’s best to stay away from caffeine and carbonated drinks for a while, but I don’t know how long a while is for a tongue piercing. Could be a week, could be a month, I wouldn’t know, so I can’t help there. I’d say wait about a week before attempting to drink any kind of energy drink or carbonated/caffeine induced beverage, or to ask a piercing parlor about it. The latter seems to be your best bet, so if I were you, I’d go ask a professional first. A hassle, yes, but it’s the best bet other than Google of course.

I wouldnt worry about it, just mouthwash when your done and you’ll be fine, tongue piercings are easy to heal, you have to do a lot to mess it up.
