It is better to be well hydrated before surgery and alcohol contributes to dehydration.

YES...but don't overdo it
Overall, one or two drinks the night prior to a local anesthetic should be safe. However, it is best to check with the surgeon or provider doing the procedure. They may want to administer additional medications that could interfere.
