Can I Go Under Anesthesia After Having Alcohol ?
I'm having my wisdom teeth removed today at 3:15pm, and I drank quite a bit of alcohol last night (6 drinks in a 5 hour span). My last drink was around 1:30am. I haven't eaten or drank anything (including water) since then, and I feel dehydrated and have a headache. Will I be ok going under general anesthesia today at 3pm? Will there still be alcohol in my system?

I would not advise to get the extraction done today ; though alcohol in the system would be negligible.
