No: Drinking alcohol can damage the liver but not the gallbladder. Moderation is the key to alcohol consumption. Be careful, because long term heavy drinking can cause irreversible and progressive liver damage leading to cirrhosis, liver failure, and death. Hope this helps!

Regional damage: excess alcohol ingestion can cause both liver disease and pancreatic disease, both of which can lead to gallbladder disease. Get and abdominal ultrasound to check you gallbladder , liver and pancreas.
