Passing a UA alcohol test on probation

Asked Apr 5, 2007, 05:09 PM — 27 Answers
If I have a few drinks tonight can I still pass a alcohol urine on Monday? I don't know if the probation departments just check the level of alcohol in urine,( can detect alcohol up to 24 hours) or if they do a more extensive test that can detect alcohol for up to five days. Has anyone heard or know anything about it? I'd love to have a drink with my husband tonight.....does anyone know anything that might help me at all? I was charged with prescription fraud, I know they test me for everything....including alcohol but I was hoping I could still have a drink occassionally. I can't asked my probation officer how extensive of a alcohol urine is done ..but if anyone knows anything at all...I'd appreciate some in put.

Summary There is the direct answer to this question: alcohol can come up in tests upwards of 80 hours, depending on your own metabolism, how much you drank, and for how long.

Then, there is the issue of trying to get away with something. Ask Me Help Desk does not allow users to disseminate information for acts that are against the law. If anyone is required not to drink alcohol, in this example, then they should not be looking for a way around the requirement as the penalty for doing so is a lot more severe than a night of fun, however, it IS a free country, and if one chooses to put their freedom on the line - to each his own.

Let me see, so you are saying that even though your terms of probation was not to drink, you ar willing to have your probation violated just to have that drink, So have a coke with him ? Better yet, get hubby to also have a coke when you go out.

What you are saying is you want to drink so bad you are willing to risk going to jail for it ?

Think about it, and yes if they do certain tests it will show up, just depends on yoru department which test they will do.

Nope, not what I said....my terms of supervision says nothing about alcohol consumption, I just happened to see that they were checking me for alcohol in my urine along with everything else. I just wasn't sure if the probation departments were testing for EtG. I want to know if they do. I would like to have a drink on occassion if I COULD but there isn't anything I want bad enough to go to jail for.......

Hello again, Tessy:

Alcohol turns to sugar a couple hours after consumption. If you drank in the evening, it wouldn't show in your urine the next day.

Hello again Mr. excon,

I know ..... I'm driving myself crazy wondering if I can have a drink (and I don't even like alcohol that much). I'm sure I could have one and be fine, but I am too chicken to try.....and because I don't think I should...I want too! I'm screwed up...which explains why I am on probation in the first place...lol. Thanks!

Hi there,
Did you end-up having the drinks prior to the urine testing? I am facing the same dillema!

Is one of the conditions of your probation not to drink? If so, then don't do it. Trying to beat the system will only cause more problems for you. Remember, any probation violation could get you sent to jail. Then you won't be spending any time with you husband at all.

By the way, many of our "honorable and law abiding" officers of the law (including probation officers) are some of the worst offenders and abusers of the system since they know their way around it. Maybe you should try to slip down from your saddle on that high horse of yours and look around see things look down her--sometimes gray, not always black and white.


Whoa - way out of line here. The OP - just like you - is trying to get around the terms of probation - in her case, alcohol; in your case "borrowed" drugs and it's a legal board.

I realize you think wanting to have a drink with her husband sounds normal to you; unfortunately, when it could be violating probation it does not sound normal to some other people on this - the legal - Board.

Hi, have you found anything out about passing a UA on probation after consuming alcohol? I had been drinking 36 hrs prior to my test this a.m.
