Will A Glass Of Wine Have An Effect On Blood Test Report?
![default](/r/images/default.png)
Question: I am having blood work for my physical on Friday morning, but have a party to go to this evening - can I drink red wine and not effect my results for my blood test.
Brief Answer:
Having a glass of wine won't cause any trouble
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
limited amount of alcohol won't interfere with your blood tests. Remember that - for some tests - fasting for 12 hours is required (like the lipids). So drinking a glass of wine won't interfere with the tests. If you drink many glasses of wine, then I can't guess what will happen with your liver enzymes. Liver toxicity may happen with binge drinking.
Contact me again, if you'd like more information.
Kind Regards!
