Yes, the BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) will not completely be diminished. If it is for the police or for a medical condition they will be able to detect small ammounts of alcohol.

Question by : How long before a drug test should you stop drinking alcohol?

Best answer:

Answer by Corvato
you don’t have to

drug tests DON’T TEST FOR ALCOHOL
as alcohol is a legal substance
if they want to test for alcohol, they test separately for it… but this is rare and only when someone is usually court-ordered not to drink or on probation

in these cases, the most common test is the ETG urine alcohol test, which is usually rated at 80 days since last drink… so about 4 days

Question by : Explain the causes of Mr. X’s abnormal liver function test results. Explain some of Mr. X’s symptoms ………?
Mr. X has been admitted to the accident and emergency department. He has been involved in a motorbike accident, is unconscious and has leg injuries which will require surgery.
Witnesses at the scene of the accident told ambulance staff that he did not appear to have proper control of his motorbike and drove headlong into the path of an upcoming vehicle.
Before Mr. X can undergo surgery for his crushed leg his blood needs to be tested to see if he has any underlying conditions which need to be taken into account before surgery commences. He also shows signs of internal haemorrhaging and may also require treatment for blood loss.
The blood results have now been returned from the laboratory emergency services and it now transpires that Mr. X has raised blood alcohol levels and was drunk at the time of the accident.
His hospital medical records have been traced and reveal that Mr. X has been receiving ongoing medical care for liver disease due to alcoholism.
He has been attending monthly clinics to monitor his liver function.
Before Mr. X can receive blood products for transfusion they need to be screened. Mr. X will show specific symptoms of liver disease.

Explain the causes of Mr. X’s abnormal liver function test results. Explain some of Mr. X’s symptoms of liver disease (such as jaundice and prolonged clotting time). What advice will doctors give Mr. X to improve his prognosis?
