Brief Answer:
No blood work or radio-logical tests requires an alcohol abstinence.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.

No blood work like (CBC,ESR,Sugar,Cholesterol,urea etc) and radio-logical tests requires an alcohol abstinence.

A few blood tests (like fasting blood sugar,serum cholesterol,Triglyceride levels) usually require a 12 hour period of fasting (water ingestion is allowed).

There is no definitive laboratory tests to identify alcoholism.
Long term use of alcohol may cause a liver damage and end organ damage may be identified in lab testing.
Aspartate amino transferase (AST or SGOT) and alanine amino transferase (ALT or SGPT) enzymes (a part of liver function tests) can indicate a liver damage, which is often related to alcohol use.
Abdominal Ultrasound shows a fatty,bulky or nodular liver.

CDT (Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin )Test and GGT are used to detect a recent or dangerous Alcohol Consumption.
They are used as Biomarkers for alcohol Use and abuse and to monitor abstinence.

Hope that I have answered your query.

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.
