Hi, I Was On A Medical Examination For Work And

Hi,
I was on a medical examination for work and got note from doctor that I have too high CDT in my blood, but not how high.
I was on examination 4 days after summer holidays with friends and we were really drinking too much for the last 14 days...
I did follow the instructions I've got, and I was not drinking for 14 days and then gave blood again.
I got the same result again - that I was heavily drinking for the last 14 days and I should follow the absolute abstinence again and give blood after 14 days again...
How is this possible?
I am also in worries as after the medical examination I drank 5 beers (it was a friend birthday and I thought I am off now) and now I need to give blood in 14 days again. How will this 5 beers influence on level of CDT?
Not sure if relevant I was also thinking if my diet can have any influence on that? I am practically not eating any carbohydrates (LHFC diet), maybe one small piece of breed in one week, can this have anything to do with CDT level?
