A member asked:
My friend just had heart surgery but is now fine. would there be any danger for me to share a drink with him or share his germs?

No: There should be no increased risk than before their surgery. Hopefully they have stopped their narcotic pain meds before drinking and gotten cleared by their surgeon.
