Can you drink alcohol hours after a HIDA Scan?

I'm scheduled to take a HIDA Scan on Friday 10/11/13 at 8:30 in the morning. I'm very scared but at the same time want to get it over with. Now, I asked about drinking alcohol and I know many will say you shouldn't but I actually never had any problems with it. I never had any gallbladder issues at all while drinking. When I drink alcohol I'm in a club and I just start dancing so its like I'm working out while drinking.

But my question is, can I drink hours after the HIDA Scan? I know it takes 24hrs for it to be out of my body but since my appointment is at 8:30am and I go clubbing and drinking at around11:30-12 at night would it be okay for me to drink like I would normally do on a Friday night out with my girls?

As long as you don't have any lingering side effects from the medication you've been given during the HIDA scan, you should be fine to go about normal activities. But many people endure gallbladder-related symptoms during and after the scan, so there is a good chance you won't even feel like going out.
