Alcohol before surgery?

Okay, I know this may sound like a stupid question but... My surgery is Monday and tonight is my sisters birthday. Does anyone know if it would be okay to have just ONE drink? I was thinking maybe even just water with a little vodka in it?

      Thanks ladies. I didn't drink! Instead I found crystal light pomtinis and felt like I had a mixed drink in my hand all night. I recommend them!

    You need to ask your doctor to be sure, but I'm guessing no. Alcohol is a blood thinner and they tell you to stop all blood thinners (alcohol, NSAIDS, etc) 2 weeks before surgery.

    The desani pineapple and coconut liquid drops in water taste just like a piña colada! A virgin one of course, but very tasty...
