A member asked:
Can doctors see my bac when they take annual blood samples to see cholesterol/iron levels, etc? i have a physical in a month, last drank last week

No: It would be illegal to test you without your consent even if you came into the office drunk. Drinking at your age has nothing to recommend it, though, and if you feel it is gaining too much control over you, please raise the topic confidentially with your physician.
