Depending on how much you drank here's the facts: Expect each drink to take about 1 hour and 20 minutes to get through your system and into your urine. In addition to the 80 minutes per drink, the breakdown products of alcohol may be detectable for 24-48 hours after the last drink. And there nothing you can do to hasten the metabolism of alcohol in your body once you've had too many. Sounds like you may be at some level of risk for your test. I would think about this seriously since your on probation now.

As noted in answer to your previous post, there's a good possibility that the alcohol would indeed show up in your urine test.

beer, wine and liquor contain "just" about the same amount of pure alcohol, a drink is a drink, body weight, sex, has little to do with the effects, If your lucky enough to pass this time..... , and I think with 9 drinks your at high risk of failing,.....I would re-evalulate your drinking considering your current situation.
