Would the alcohol i drank show up on my blood tests?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the test: Alcohol dissipates from blood in a few hours or a day at best, but effects of alcohol may be detectable in the form of elevated liver enzymes, altered blood proteins and a urine test may be positive for up to five days.
