Depends on the blood test obviously but unless you've been drinking enough to cause liver failure there is no way they are going to look or care.

Unless you are specifically being tested for alcohol they won't look or mention it.

How regular and how much? It does typically show up in a couple tests if you drink a lot. Even then they wouldn't be 100% sure its alcohol though.
If its only very occasional, then no it won't show.
There are changes that are typical of alcohol consumption that are not liver failure.

Are you over 5 years old? If you are over 5 years old and live in the UK then you are not underage.

I'm only 16 so I drink with my friends for fun occasionally like rarely so my enzymes would be normal right?

What blood test are you going for and why?
There isn't really such a thing as a "regular blood test"

They probably would - this sounds like a private thing in which case the more blood tests they do the more £££ they make.
Plus significant alcohol use is apparent on blood tests that aren't LFTs.

Not unless they happen to be looking for it, doubtful though given it tends to only be employers and ploddies (or maybe A&E) who go looking for blood alcohol content.

Do you know how much paracetamol you need to take to raise your liver enzymes?
Also I think I'll take a miss on reading your source, but thanks.

b) Unless you have drunk a lot the night before, alcohol will not show up in your blood - read about how quickly alcohol is broken down
c) Unless you are regularly drinking alcohol above the recommended limits there will be no sign of changes to your blood chemistry
But maybe if you are drinking and your parents would not approve, and as you obviously don't even know the basics, you should do some googling about what you are up to and the consequences before you have your next drink?
