    You should be clear.

    Are you doing this UDS for a job application or is it part of a probation?

    Approaching your question backwards... There is a vast difference in tests administered for pre-employment purposes... regulated to unregulated. Very little regulation. (Can be more specific with employment class).

    Next, alcohol (EtOH) is absorbed and eliminated at individually different rates. As example, a single drink raises your BAC by .20 (approx) while eliminated in the range of .10 - .23 ph. Most people hover around the point of .16- .18 for elimination. After factoring in the variables personal metabolic rates have a variance of 400% >. Averages become irrelevant.

    So a "drink" may stay in your system from 30 minutes (-) to 2 hours (+)... both averaged.

    I ANSWERED THIS QUESTION UNDER A DIFFERENT HEADING. In direct response to the above, 3 drinks cannot be detected 7 days later by any method known to me or scientifically verifiable.
