I drank a week ago, and have a blood test today, will any alcohol show up in my test?

Not alcohol: If you drank alcohol one week (7 days) ago there will not be any alcohol in a blood test. However regular drinking, heavy binge drinking with elevate certain liver enzymes.

No: It will all be eliminated or metabolized well before this timel

Very unlikely: Alcohol is metabolized by your body fairly rapidly - on the order of one mixed drink/beer per two hours. After a week it should be entirely out of your system. Unlike Canabis, there is nothing that lingers.
