You should abstain from alcohol for at least 24 hours before any procedure involving general anesthesia. The alcohol can cause unpredictable and potentially fatal reactions to the anesthetic.

This should have been explained to you by your gastroenterologist. In addition to the above, if you are alcohol-dependent you should inform your physician of that as well. Alcohol withdrawal can likewise interfere with the procedure.
sure, try your luck

Should Gatorade be drunk for a colonoscopy for someone with congestive heart failure?

No, the doctor will not give him Gatorade for preparing for a colonoscopy. At the visit before the colonoscopy, he will be given very specific directions as to what to eat and drink the days and night before. If he follows those, he should be fine after the procedure. Usually clear liquids are recommended, and Gatorade has coloring.
