It should not.: However boozing after gallbladder surgery may cause unpleasant symptoms related to fat malabsorption including abdominal pain,diarrhea. Ease up on the budweiser, the cocktail, vodka and tequila! http://www.livestrong.com/article/518662-should-alcohol-and-caffeine-be-avoided-after-gallbladder-removal/
