FWIW, I've been struggling with gallstone issues recently, and my doctor actually advised me to have a glass of wine a night. Here are two recent studies on the topic. [1] Alcohol consumption and risk of gallstone disease: a meta-analysis. Wang J, et al. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2017. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/27926662/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/27926662/ "A linear dose-response relationship was found between alcohol consumption and gallstone disease risk and the risk of gallstone disease decreased by 12% (RR=0.88, 95% CI: 0.84-0.92; Pnonlinearity=0.079) for each 10 g/day increment in alcohol consumption. This meta-analysis suggests that alcohol consumption is associated with significantly decreased risk of gallstone disease." [2] Alcohol Consumption Can Reduce the Risk of Gallstone Disease: A Systematic Review with a Dose-Response Meta-Analysis of Case-Control and Cohort Studies. Cha BH, et al. Gut Liver. 2019. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/30665280/?i=6&from=/27926662/related https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/30665280/?i=6&from=/27... "In this systematic review with meta-analysis, alcohol consumption could decrease the risk of GSD, and the dose-response analysis revealed a dose-dependent linear risk reduction and a weakened linear trend between alcohol consumption levels less than and greater than 28 g/day."
