You can have the blood tests in the morning. Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. It will destroy your brain cells, facilitate development of cancer in many organs, including breast, cause hepatitis, cirrhosis and pancreatitis etc. There is no safe level of alcohol intake. Quit while you are ahead.

Have blood test at noon or after. The most important thing you should know is not to drink any alcohol after your extractions because you will destroy the blood clot and end up with a very painful dry socket.
