Yes, you are not to eat or drink before a cholesterol blood test.
Probably. Since most cholesterol (if not all) is contained in the blood and causes clots and such, losing blood should result in a minuscule (too little to matter) loss in cholesterol.
No is the simple answer. Cholesterol is for the most part evenly distributed in the blood and therefore when donating blood you take cholesterol with the blood. Your body will have a lower MASS of cholesterol but the CONCENTRATION of cholesterol has not changed, which is what is important for you I presume. However, when giving blood they encourage no fatty meals or food 24 hours before to avoid high levels of fats and cholesterol in the blood, which means you shouldn't e giving blood if you have high cholesterol.
If you drink alcohol 12 hours before the blood test for cholesterol, its traces will be found in the blood sample. It is therefore advisable not to drink alcohol.
