Summary:Hydration practices in the view of hip, knee, or spine surgery instruct patients to avoid caffeinated drinks, alcoholic beverages, and sugar-sweetened drinks because they adversely impact body fluid homeostasis.

The author of this opinion article discusses the shreds of evidence that establish beer as a drink to avoid prior to orthopedic surgery.
