A member asked:

I have had 3 drinks this evening. in a 3 hour span. but not norm for me. i do have a blood test for cholesterol level in the am ? is this a problem ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lipid Testing: Fasting for 8 hours provides more accurate results, if you are able to fast. You should perform the test per your doctors directions. Keep in mind 1 drink/day for women and 2/day for men is the guideline. I will likely not affect your cholesterol labs in the morning, however.
