∙ 11y agoThe NHS guidance is 24 hours, for patients which are assumed to be "moderate drinkers" (e.g normally a glass of wine or two in the evenings). (Clearly, for anyone with alcohol problems or liver problems alcohol consumption should be minimal anyway, so the above guidance does not apply in these situations.)
However... it is possible to anesthetise someone who is drunk, although turning up for surgery whilst drunk is frowned upon (whether you're the patient or the surgeon). Also, there are legal issues associated with the patient being drunk when they sign the consent form for surgery. Which is why it's best to turn up sober.
