So I have to take a blood test tomorrow. First thing they'll check is hormone levels. Is getting smashed tonight going to affect that? I'm figuring it won't.
But they are also probably gonna test around to make sure I'm healthy. Will drinking fuck it up? My test isn't until 4:15pm or something.
Last time I drank before the test, and I was told that my thyroid was slightly off, but that it could be due to a number of reasons. Months ago. So it seemed like it didn't matter?
On the other hand Sometimes after a night of drinking I sneeze a lot the next day. So must mean my immune system is down?

You'd be dehydrated for sure. I don't know if it would throw the results off, but I think it would.

You don't even understand how dehydration works.
Go get smashed, you're a lost cause anyway.

>There are three types of dehydration: hypotonic or hyponatremic (primarily a loss of electrolytes, sodium in particular), hypertonic or hypernatremic (primarily a loss of water), and isotonic or isonatremic (equal loss of water and electrolytes). In humans, the most commonly seen type of dehydration by far is isotonic (isonatraemic) dehydration which effectively equates with hypovolemia, but the distinction of isotonic from hypotonic or hypertonic dehydration may be important when treating people who become dehydrated. Physiologically, dehydration, despite the name, does not simply mean loss of water, as water and solutes (mainly sodium) are usually lost in roughly equal quantities to how they exist in blood plasma. In hypotonic dehydration, intravascular water shifts to the extravascular space, exaggerating intravascular volume depletion for a given amount of total body water loss. Neurological complications can occur in hypotonic and hypertonic states. The former can lead to seizures, while the latter can lead to osmotic cerebral edema upon rapid rehydration.

Right but I'm clearly going to eat a bunch of food and drink Gatorade before the test. You seem to be implying I would still be dehydrated by 4pm. I'm really doubting that's true right?
Clearly maybe there would be some left over residue and I won't be in my absolute best state, but my question is will drinking tonight ruin my results for tomorrow, or will it basically be fine.
