I don’t know that I’ve seen any specific volumes that are allowed for clear liquids prior to surgery. Do you guys generally care how much water or black coffee someone drinks up to two hours before surgery? I looked at the ASA guidelines, and I don’t think it gave any specific amount. Just curious what your practices are.

They can be waterboarded and I'll still say 2 hours
