Specializes in Internal Medicine

Alcohol should not affect your CT scan of your chest but you should avoid intoxication as this will make it very uncomfortable for you should you have a hangover. Hope your test comes out ok. Best of luck to you!

A modest amount of alcohol would have no real effect on the accuracy of a CAT scan.
