Brief Answer:
No its not advisable

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir

I can understand your interest but it's neither advisable nor its a good idea.

As after such a major surgery the organs of the body are already under stress and above that if you will take beer it will adversely affect your body especially liver and your heart. As alcohol consumption increases the metabolism there by increasing the work load of the heart by causing tachycardia and vasoconstriction which is not a good scenario for a post bypass heart.

I hope this information will be helpful and guide you properly

Kind Regards
