Can I drink 5 days before my breast augmentation?

May 20, 2016
Asked By:Vicks22 in Florida, NY

I know they say it's recommended to stop drinking before BA at least a week prior but I have a 3 day concert I'm going to that I've been planning for months with some friends but it ends on may 30th and my surgery is on June 4th. I was wondering if maybe after drinking a bunch of beer for the concert I could just drink a bunch of water to flush all the alcohol after the concert for those remaining 5 days till my surgery to get rid of all the alcohol I consumed that weekend. Would that possibly be okay?
