Why no alcohol after a clonoscopy?

Mixing drugs: The sedation or anesthesia can involve powerful medications, most do not mix well with alcohol. Ask you doctor- some use low doses and less restriction might be in order.

It may not be due to: the colonoscopy itself - but instead because intravenous sedation or anesthesia is used.
