Can you drink alcohol before a ct scan?!

Question: Just wondering if you can have some social drinks the night before a ct scan?

Answers:
No.... the scanner will explode if it detects alcohol in your system.....

Please... at CT scan is simply a series of XRays taken in sequence. of course you can have a couple of social drinks before hand.

All of you people saying "No" are seriously wrong. Alcohol metabolizes at about one drink per hour... a couple of social drinks the night before will be long gone before the scan. I order CT scans on trauma patients just pulled from the wreckage of an auto accident where blood alcohol levels are above .02. By your logic and reasoning I would never be able to trust those results.

Seriously... if you don't know what you are talking about... don't guess.
