How serious would a head injury need to be to warrant immediately avoiding alcohol?

I planned on going out drinking tonight but early this morning, around 10 am, I hit my head right at the temple on the corner of the windowsill. It was hard enough to produce a loud smack and cause me severe pain for about a minute or two but not hard enough to knock me unconscious. I have a slight welt on my forehead and a small cut that drew blood (though only a very little). I don't think it currently warrants visiting a doctor and I can't really afford to.

Everything I've read always assumes a concussion which I don't think I have. The only noticeable symptom I've exhibited is that shortly afterwards I went to sleep and have slept for about 6 hours and am still somewhat tired. I think that's fairly abnormal for me to be so tired but my vision hasn't changed, I recall everything immediately surrounding the event, I am very much coherent and can walk just fine. Would it be necessary to avoid drinking or might complications still develop that would be worsened by alcohol consumption?

Im worried that you fell asleep immediately afterward.

Honestly, i think drinking might help you wake up dead tomorrow

Yeah, I was worried about that. The more I think about it, the more I think it's probably not worth it. And it's not helping matters that I'm still pretty tired. Will probably still go out, I just won't be drinking.
