What role are you going for?
My medical checked my eyesight, hearing, colour blindness, BMI (told I could lose some weight but my understanding as long as you are healthy they aren't too worried about this), agility (had to do some exercises to prove I could move around) and then had a drugs & alcohol urine test.
As long as you don't drink the night before your medical you should be fine.

All the medicals I've had have involved:
Questionnaire about medical history
Height/weight
Blood pressure
Breathalyser
Urine sample for drug testing
Eyesight (near and far)
Colour blindness testing
Hearing test
Can't recall having ever done an agility test, and I've had them done at 3 different centres, but that could possibly be dependant on BMI as I'm a bit of a weed (first place had to guess as their chart didn't go that small!)
You'll find out the results of all bar the drug test on the day, and with that it's a case of no news is good news. As long as you don't turn up with alcohol in your system you'll be okay. I know plenty of people who drink on their days off (although that's not necessarily the weekend!)
