Will drinking alcohol the night before a hepatitis test affect the results?

I'm just curious...I know that drinking is bad if you HAVE hepatitis...but could it make the test results messed-up to drink beforehand? I'm assuming you either have it or you don't, and drinking before will not affect the results....

No, drinking won't effect the test. The test is done by using something that looks for the antibodies your immune system makes when you have Hep. The only way you can have these antibodies is if you were exposed to Hep.

Drinking may cause elevated liver enzymes, but it definitly won't cause a hep. test to be positive.

Good luck :)
