Hello, Welcome to HCM.
I do understand your concern.
Alcohol consumption before the MRI examination is not prohibited and do not affect the result as long as you do not get drunk and provided that you haven't been given specific instructions that prohibit it.
Some tests require you to be NPO (ie. no eating or drinking) and so in that case you obviously would not want to drink during that period.
I hope this information helps.
