Dr. Johanna Fricke answered

Specializes in Pediatrics - Developmental and Behavioral

It depends on how : Much alcohol you consumed, what your highest bac was & how healthy your liver is, i.e., whether you are developing cirrhosis from chronic alcohol abuse. A blood alcohol concentration test is separate from a " liver functions" test.
