Hello doctor. I have a close relative who is an alcoholic and is currently jaundiced. Yesterday due to an emergency he had to be left home alone for some time and on returning in the evening he was snoring and did not seem to be in the right frame of mind. I have a doubt he has consumed alcohol again. How can I confirm this? Do I need to do a blood/urine test as he s not ready to accept
