Could Incidental Gall Bladder Polyp Be The Reason Of Having Dull Pain On Right Side Of Abdomen?

Hellow Dr. I have been a drinker for some time, and now after I drink I get a dull pain in the right side of my abdomen under the ribs. I have had an ultrasound and my liver looked ok. However, it said that I had an incidental gallbladder polyp. Could this be the cause of the pain?
