As a general rule, patients should avoid eating or drinking anything other than water during the 12 hours prior to any blood test. Blood tests specifically prohibiting alcohol consumption in the 24 hours prior to the administration include the triglyceride test and the gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) test.
You can eat and drink as normal before some blood tests. In other cases, you will be instructed not to eat or drink (other than water) before your test. This is known as a fasting blood test. You may also be told not to drink alcohol or not to smoke before your test.ron blood tests are usually taken in the morning before you eat anything. You should also avoid taking iron pills or tablets for 24 hours before your test. Your body absorbs iron very quickly from food or pills, so this can raise your iron levels and affect the test results.
