In this study participants will be asked to take part in a discussion with the nurse that they see at the pre-assessment clinic to see if we can help people reduce their alcohol consumption before surgery. During the discussion the behavioural intervention will be delivered which consists of simple advice and guidance on how reducing alcohol intake before their surgery could benefit them. The aim is to find out whether this newly developed intervention is acceptable to patients and whether they find it useful before their operation.
