It is if you like wine!
BTW, if you are flying into California, you are allowed five cases of wine per person to come back with you through customs. Please check your home state as that number varies from state to state.
I will ask Dr. Clavel how soon I start drinking after surgery. But for me I know if I am on Fentanyl that question will sort itself out as even one sip of wine on Fentanyl makes me puke. I will definitely be bringing some wine back with me though!
