Alcohol in and of itself does not show in a CBC test (Complete Blood Count). But, the effects of alcohol, such as dehydration, is shown because dehydration makes the blood thicker, stickier, and so it elevates certain components of the test. Tell your doctor if you regularly drink.

Actually, alcohol causes the blood to thin and excessive consumption will eventually lead to low white and red blood cells as well as platelets.
