Question : I am running a marathon Tomorrow morning. Last night I drank 4 glasses of wine. I am not drinking any alcohol today and am rehydrating. I do drink wine most days and have trained on days after drinking, but I have never ran a marathon and got worried it may negatively effect me. Health wise. Should I be concerned? I feel ok today. It will be about 35 hours from the time of wine to the race.

Brief Answer:
It will not affect your performance.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I don't think drinking whine two days before marathon can affect your performance on it.
I think you should feed well and drink water and also sleep well in order to get ready.
Your body has cleared the alcohol out now so you don't have to worry about it.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
