Maybe saying a "Liver function test" is a misnomer. It is a blood test to check for liver enzymes that show the use of alcohol.
CravenMorhead, the terms involve alcohol prohibition, but as I am also an avid weightlifter, I am also curious to know if any supplements that I take would effect the test. And when I say heavily, I simply mean I drink enough to catch a strong buzz, but not to the point where I experience a blackout, throw up or have a hangover.
J_9, what is an ETG or ETOH? They also talk about doing a urine test, but all information I have read on that says that 5-7 days of no drinking will ensure a clean test.
So far as I understand, the blood test is to check and see if I have been consuming alcohol. I am really just trying to figure out how long prior to the test I need to remain clear of alcohol. For further knowledge, I already take milk thistle as part of my supplements for weightlifting. Perhaps this might have an effect as well, as it is supposed to be good for liver detoxification.
Thanks for your responses, I appreciate them.
