    The ethanol contained in 2 standard drinks would be eliminated in about 4 hours. However, urine can be tested for EtG, a metabolite of alcohol with a much longer window of detection. If EtG is tested for, and it is not in a standard drug screen, it could be present for nearly that long. Probably in the vicinity of 36 hours.
