Dr. Stephen Southard answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

You can: It turns out that there is some data/evidence that moderate alcohol consumption actually reducing gallstone incidence. I wouldn't encourage you to do this but rather review this with your primary care physician about ways to reduce issues with gallstones. Best of luck.
