Does alcohol show up in drug tests?

i know it gets out of your system pretty fast, but does it cause any chemicals to be produced in your body that they test for, like cocaine does?

I don't believe so. I think it is in your system for like 48 hours (could be way wrong on that) and then its out. Doesn't stay in your fat cells like THC does.

Yes, it does show in drug tests if you've recently consumed it. Your body is able to metabolize a drink (shot, beer, wine) an hour if I remember correctly. That being said, as long as you don't get hammered the night before your test, or take shots on your way to the testing facility, then you will be fine.

Its 1 unit per hour not 1 drink, differnt drinks have differnt amounts of units a beer is between 1 and 1.6ish depending on what it is.

1 unit = 1 hour. 1 unit is a pint of beer, a drink or a shot. so it wont show. and if its only a drug test it wont even show if you are drunk. so you dont have to worry

There is a specific test for alcohol, its called an etg (ethylglucuronide test). If you drink like one beer youll fail within the next day normally, if you binge drink it can stay in your system for like 3-4 days. But im pretty sure you have to get a specific test for that. The nice thing about taking tests for just alc as i had to do, is you can still chief.

it doesn't matter you're probably going to end up failing one way or another anyway.  just don't think about it.

the alcohol itself doesnt come up but a chemical in alcohol (dont know what) can show up for up to 24 hours in a urine test. So pretty much dont drink within 24 hours of your test. Drinking lots of water will help a lot as well as green tea since it has antioxidants in it.

depends on the test i believe. Blood tests? Yes. It will definately show up. Piss tests? I doubt it, but to be careful i wouldn't drink anything 12 hours before a test. And its highly unlikely you will not have 12 hours before you are notified you have to take a drug test. hope this helps.

how it works is, you call every morning starting at 7:30, and if they say your color then you have till 5:00 to do it.

idk what a private company uses but for federal shit, like drug tests for court and such I know there is a new tests that can detect alcohol for a significant period of time, its between 3-7 days I forget. I guess when you drink alcohol your body produces certain acids that remain there for that 3-7days (sorry i forget the exact period) and they test for those. pretty shitty.

My buddy got busted for possession of boomers for a BS reason and thought he would still be able to drink. Guess again. He is on this test now so he has to be completley sober until he gets his medical mary jane card in a couple months. Its gotta be pretty fucking difficult in a college enviroment.

i just heard about this thing called an etg test. i gues it can test and see if any alcohol has been in your system in the last 80 hours. i just went and did a u.a. for my PO, i hadn't drank for 63 or 64 hours. think i'll be good? i'm pretty worried. fuck....
