SCS trial in patient with alcoholism

I have a patient who drinks daily. She wants a spinal cord stimulator to help with her post laminectomy pain syndrome. I am hesitant as I am worried about possible bleeding issues with her alcohol use. Would you guys do the case? Would you get any labs prior to make sure she isn't at increased risk for bleeding?
