Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Currently you are multiple severe respiratory and cardiac problem. Alcohol is a risk factor for exacerbation of these problems and poor recovery. Same time there is risk of poor healing with alcohol, as you got large bowel polyp removed recently.

But most dangerous is risk of aspiration after alcohol binge in current medical condition. So, it is better to avoid alcohol in current condition.

Wishing you good health and all the best.
