See below: Anesthesia from an outpatient procedure can linger longer than you think. Ideally you would wait until the next day, but if you already had the wine and typing this question you're probably ok :)

Not a good idea: Even though you may feel wide-awake, anesthesia can alter your judgment, and the combination of alcohol with that can be unpredictable. It is usually recommended that you wait until the next day. Good luck.
