I want to drink in excess Saturday night, however I have a blood and urine test on Tuesday will I be OK? This test is for the army.. I weigh 170lbs. This this test is important that I don't fail this, so my question is will I be OK for sure on Tuesday ? Or will they be able to tell that I drank at all from that even if my bad is 0?

We are not going to assist you in bypassing alcohol testing. If you aren't supposed to drink. Don't drink.

If your BAC is 0 can alcohol/ ethanol still be detected in a blood or urine test?

Alcohol? No. The metabolites that come from alcohol consumption yes. Those can be detected many days after excessive consumption.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Wanted to add some snark or bad advice, but couldn't bring myself to.

OK, I only ask because a friend of mine drank Saturday in excess but not at all the rest of the weekend and he had a blood test and a urine test on Tuesday will he pass? Were not sure how they tested it only blood/urine for drugs and alcohol.

What do you think and how would you know this information?

Nothing to do with this?

I think you need to get your story straight. As you have been told, we will not give you information on how to get around a test.

If you aren't supposed to be drinking, stay safe and don't put yourself in the position of worrying about failing like your 'friend' currently is.

You will be okay for sure and pass your very important test for the Army Tuesday if you don't drink Saturday. You won't even die from worrying if you passed or not! The choice is a no brainer without the should have, would haves, and wondering, and speculating.

But if the drinking in excess (never a good idea anyway) is more important than passing a test for the Army... CHEERS!

Both blood and urine can detect recent heavy drinking by EtG and PEth testing even if your or your friends BAC is 0.
