How Long Should I Wait To Drink Alcohol Again After Liver Function Readings Came To Normal?
Hi, I was wondering how long I should wait until I should drink alcohol again. I tested positive for glandular fever (mono), about a week before this past Christmas. I was sick over Thanksgiving as well and I may have had it then but I don't know for sure. I had some pretty elevated liver function readings as well. I went for blood tests for 4 weeks straight until they returned to normal levels. They reached normal levels about 3 weeks ago. I'm 21 5'8" 135-140lbs

Hello
if you start again to use alcohol it may happen that your liver panel will be elevated again.
So I would advice avoiding alcohol.
best regards
