I am 5'6 weigh 150. I usually drink 3 - 4 drinks of capt morgan and ginger ale at night. 1 shot of capt to 10 ounces of soda. I try to drink water between drinks. I am in a drug detox program that does random urine testing... the tests can be taken any morning between 6 - 6:30. How long does my urine show positive after my last drink? Is there anything I can do to help... like drink cranberry juice? Will drinking a huge glass of water before giving the urine help to make it appear negative? Let me know. I actually had my last drink on Saturday night – around 11. The next possible urine test would be tomorrow (Monday) at 6 – 6:30 am. Let me know asap. Thanks,

The EtG Urine Alcohol Test claims it can detect alcohol 70 hours after ingestion. Other tests have much shorter windows. Do you know what test or test instrument will be used? http://www.alcohol-test-info.com/How_Long_Will_Alcohol_Stay_In_the_System_For_Urine _Tests.html

Not to beat a dead horse, but you might consider applying yourself to the program and getting help. You wouldn't need to worry about such things if you did. It may improve your life in other ways too, in fact, I'm sure it will.
Either way, hopefully you will get the help you need.

At least 2 days, so if they can test at anytime, you stop drinking,

Folks, I certainly understand your advice about the poster getting help, I do not disagree he probably could use some help. But his question isn't asking for help, just information about how long alcohol shows up in a test.
