One of the most significant risks associated with alcohol consumption before surgery is the potential for withdrawals after the procedure. These withdrawals can lead to delirium, seizures, and even death. Additionally, alcohol consumption can also increase the risk of bleeding during and after the surgery, which can prolong recovery time and lead to additional complications.

Another risk associated with alcohol consumption before surgery is the impact it can have on the immune system. When the immune system is compromised, it can lead to poor wound healing and an increased risk of infection.

Alcohol consumption can also lead to cardiomyopathy, a condition in which the heart muscle becomes thick and stiff, making it harder for the heart to pump blood effectively. This can lead to heart failure and other serious health complications.

However, there is hope for those who struggle with alcohol addiction. Psychedelic components in anesthesia, such as ketamine, have been shown to have potential in the treatment of addiction and can be explored before and during surgery and anesthesia as a way to support the healing process.

It's important to have an open and honest conversation with your surgeon and anesthesiologist about your alcohol consumption and any history of addiction before your surgery.
