Take a test in the morning, after you've gotten the alcohol out of your system. Also, if you are pregnant, the hormone that is produced the most show more in the morning, so you'll have a better result in the morning.

Alcohol should be avoided at all times during pregnancy because it leads to low birth weight and can cause deformities as well.
According to the March of Dimes, alcohol is the most common known cause of fetal damage in the country and the leading cause of preventable mental retardation. Pregnant women who drink alcohol, especially in large amounts, put their babies at risk for fetal alcohol syndrome, which causes growth retardation, facial deformities such as a small head, thin upper lip, and small jaw bone, an underdeveloped thymus gland, and mental deficiencies or developmental delays.
If a woman has had a glass or two of wine before finding out she was pregnant, she probably has not harmed her child. But since no one knows the exact amount of alcohol that is dangerous, it's best to avoid alcohol when pregnancy is possible.

Well, I'm not sure if alchol will effect the test, however the most accurate time to take a pregnancy test is in the morning the first time you pee, so you might wanna take the test in the morn.

Alcohol should not affect a pregnancy test. You should not be doing shots if you may be pregnant.

I wouldn`t worry about the pregnancy test becoming diluted. What I would worry about is having a baby with fetal alcholol syndrome. If you do not know what it is, I suggest you do some internet research on it.

no, it won't dilute the test... but wait for a few days... take the test first thing in the morning, and most of all..... don't drink until you know for sure!!
