Dr. Peter Bream answered

Specializes in Radiology

Should not affect it: Consuming alcohol will not affect your test. Obviously, practice safe drinking habits like not driving and drinking a glass of water between drinks and not drinking to inebriation. A couple of alcoholic beverages should not affect your scan.
