Alcohol typically stays in the bloodstream between 6 and 12 hours. Factors, such as your metabolism, body weight, genetics, age, overall health, medications taken, and the amount of food eaten that day, can all play a role in how long it takes alcohol to leave your bloodstream.
Blood tests can show heavy drinking, but only within certain time frames. A BAC test can show drinking within a 6- to 12-hour window. A CDT test can show heavy drinking in a 2- to 3-week window.
Alcohol blood tests are much less susceptible to false positives than breath tests, such as breathalyzers. However, it’s still possible for false positives to occur. The most commonreasons are blood samples that aren’t handled correctly, or that become contaminated during testing.
The results of a breathalyzer are instant, but the results of an alcohol blood test can take weeks. The time it takes for you to get the results will likely depend on the reason the test was required. For instance, pre-employment testing often has a fast turnaround window to help speed up the hiring process, so you might know those results within a...
If you’re having any kind of blood work, it’s typically a good idea to avoid alcohol the night before. Alcohol can affect your blood sugar and fat levels. This can give inaccurate results to common lab work, such as a lipid panel or A1C test.
Liver function tests are blood tests that are used to see how well your liver is performing. Liver function tests include a gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT)test. GGT is an enzyme that’s produced in your liver. The level of GGT in your blood indicates liver damage caused by alcohol.
The direct consequences of excessive alcohol consumption include toxic effects on the bone marrow; the blood cell precursors; and the mature red blood cells (RBC’s), white blood cells (WBC’s), and platelets.
