What is the deal when it comes to drinking alcohol post-op?

My surgeon told me to wait a year, because it can cause problems with the liver, but I have seen where doctors do let their patients have a drink before a year. I am not an alcohol. I haven't had a drink since Christmas. When I do drink it is something light like Arbor Mist (wine with fruit juice). I'm also going on a cruise, I can't have a pina colada if I drank it slowly?????
