It's fine to drink water for a standard cholesterol blood test. I can only assume it's also OK for many other blood tests.
You're doctor or lab should have standard instructions for how to fast prior to blood work. Call them and confirm if they are still open. Your doctor's office/lab may have instructions for fasting posted on their website.
Remember, if your DO slip up and eat something during the fasting period, tell them! Otherwise your results will be screwed up.
Coffee is also usually allowed, but NOT with sugar or cream.
