My colleagues and I like to have a few drinks before surgery.
How many drinks is a few drinks before surgery?
It depends but I am still good to go, I can be drunk as a skunk and still do the job as long as I strap up.
You definitely shouldn't drink before surgery. Surgery is very serious and you could seriously injure or kill your patients if you are drunk.
I agree and I never had surgery while I was drunk.
Drinking is a serious problem for you I think. If you feel you can't function without a drink it may be time to get professional help. Maybe your whole department needs an intervention.
