How Long Before Should I Stop Drinking Alcohol For Tonsillectomy?

When should I stop drinking alcohol before my tonsillectomy? I am a 24 year female. It is Wednesday and I will be having my surgery on Monday. Today is New Year s Eve and I wanted to drink a couple glasses of wine. Is it ok if I drink it tonight and then drink no alcohol in the coming days before the surgery? Thank you
