Alcohol use before surgery

I have a big event 3 days before my surgery. Is there any danger to having a few drinks at the event?

I drank my last drink 2 days before my surgery (beers, vodka) and I was fine! But again everyone is different! As per the instructions of what not to do the day before surgery thats what I followed, other then that! Hey enjoy your few drinks! It will be a while before you have it again! Best of luck!


Alcohol is metabolised by the small intestine, but primarily affects the liver. Legally it leaves your system in 5 hours but metabolically 10 hours.

Do you really NEED to drink alcohol? Which is more important?

I would be very careful as you dont want to have any extra bleeding. Maybe lay off hard booze and stick to beer?

I just started my 7 day liquid diet today and Saturday there is a large event that I am in charge of. There will be beer there mainly. I was not planning on drinking but being the host I thought some peer pressure might get me. I just wanted to make sure that if I slipped I would be ok 3 days later for the sleeve.
