A member asked:
I have a hernia surgery two days after a social event. to what extent can i consume alcohol prior to the surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Moderation is best: Drinking in moderation two days before your surgery won't affect anything. Just make sure you stay hydrated. If you drink to excess and have issues like vomiting and dehydration, this could affect your electrolytes and surgery. A conservative amount two days prior shouldn't be an issue.
