Alcohol before op?

Can anyone advise on drinking before the op? I’ve been told no alcohol for at least 2 weeks before, but I am going to the races 11 days before my operation..
I don’t plan on getting really drunk but I would have liked to have a couple of glasses of wine?
I’ve seen loads of different things advising on different time frames of when to stop drinking and its just making me question if I drink 11 days before will it make a difference?

I drank two days before my op and was fine… oops!! youll deffo be fine 11 days before x

You will be fine chick, I drank about seven days before x

I read you need to stop drinking alcohol 48 hours before if you don’t regularly drink, but if you usually drink daily then to stop 2 weeks before. I can’t see it making a different if you’re drinking a small amount 11 days before, just don’t overdo it and hydrate lots afterwards to try flush it out of your system 🙂 having said that, I’m no expert and would hate to say this and then it cause issues for you! x
