Tinzeparin and alcohol?

Hi,

I gave birth last Thursday and have been on Tinzeparin injections 0.45ml every day for 10 days (due to finish in 6 days)
This is because I had the epidural and had an episiotomy.

I've been invited to a Halloween party with my little one on Saturday, but I can't find any info online about whether you can drink alcohol on this injection? I wanted to have a little cheers on the weekend with a glass or Prosecco as I had a horrific time with my mental health during pregnancy, and now that little one is here safe I wanted to celebrate. Has anyone been prescribed the same thing before and know any info?

My midwife hasn't got back to me, and my GP can't speak to me until next week at my appointment

It’s a blood thinner, and so is alcohol.
Limit alcohol while taking this drug because it may increase the risk of stomach bleeding
