How long should I stay away from alcohol prior to drink driving medical test?

I was banned from driving 4 years ago for being 4 times over the legal limit and since this happenned, I only drink on special occasions and it's my 25th birthday on the 8th of November and I've got the drink driving ban medical on the 25th of November? Would this affect my test results?

Bryan,

You will have a little more than 2 weeks before your drink driving medical test after your birthday. I've heard people who have refrained from alcohol consumption 3 weeks prior to their medical test fail their liver function test. You are so close to getting back your licence and it would be a shame to take such a risk after waiting for 4 years.

Therefore it is best if you abstain from drinking on your birthday to give you the best chances of passing the drink drive medical test. You later celebrate both your birthday and getting back your licence - bearing in mind not to drink drive though!

Hi, I have soon to take my dvla medical after my drink driving ban. Does anyone know how strict they are on liver damage? I still drink time to time but nowhere as near as much as I did before. So, does anyone know how damaged the liver can be to still regain a licence?
