If you can't make it, you can't make it, but if they called you +12 hours, you'd have a hard time getting them to believe you are too drunk (this excuse works for less than 12) or what not.
Unless of course you are somewhere very far from home or such. And there's always the;
"It's my week with the kids, no baby sitter..." excuse.
This is assuming you DON'T want to fly.
