Probably ok: I do not know all the medications you are taking. However, modest alcohol consumption (1 drink daily) seems reasonable at this time. Please consult with your internal medicine doctor or cardiologist to confirm my suggestion.

Probably: I typically let my patients have a drink or two after they have stopped taking their narcotic pain medications. That happens usually around 2-3 weeks.

Ask your surgeon: Likely okay to resume small occasional quantities but have to monitor for interactions with your other medications.
