When food containing fat enters the digestive tract, stimulating the secretion of cholecystokinin, the bile is released from the gall bladder (storage space). The gallbladder is an adjunct to the liver, whose main function is to break down fats by concentrating bile. Alcohol is not good for the health as it puts strain on the liver, which processes the body fats.

Yes, however, it is difficult to differentiate gallbladder from liver pain.  The liver is most affected by alcohol.  http://www.countrydoc.com
