Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and thought provoking.

To recapitulate: Female/41 - going for surgery - wants to know whether can have a glass of wine the night before surgery - whether Adderall reverse the effects of alcohol.

Any alcoholic beverage increases the edema of the body and hence best avoided before surgery.

Adderall is a stimulant and alcohol works differently as per the quantity one takes, the metabolism the liver does and the alcoholic beverage you take, the habituality and so on. Theoretically thy can can have opposite effects but in practical life the effects can be very different in different individuals and can not be predicted. Hence best avoided.

I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
