It's lipidemia. :D
What is Lipidemia? Lipidemia is a condition in the body involving an abnormally high concentration of lipids in the blood. The typical Lipidemia case sees very low-density lipoproteins or perhaps chylomicrons build up in the blood which turns blood plasma milky white in color. This is because of fat collected in the blood. Lipidemia is not always visible but as content increases (such as Triglycerides) it can be seen.
Lipidemia usually results because of various habits of poor dieting. Eating fatty foods can cause Lipidemia, from mild to moderate levels, as can alcoholism. There are also medical conditions that can lead to Lipidemia including Diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, hypothyroidism, primary biliary cirrhosis, pancreatitis, multiple myeloma and systemic lupus erythematosus. Medicines such as oestrogens and steroids, along with protease inhibitors, have also been known to cause cases of Lipidemia.
If your drinking the "pints o Guiness" your triglycerides can be elevated. :)

Want me to re-title it 'what's your excuse' or 'something else to bitch about'?
Hey, that's the most satisfying thing about giving blood. Don't take that away from me.
No, it isn't. I rechecked the doctors note and cross referenced it with the highest authority (google and wikipedia).
