    Urine tests
    How long will alcohol be detectible in a urine test? I had a toast on Christmas Eve ( a few sips, so 14 dryas ago) and am having a urine test done, today. Will this show up?

    Also, how long will marajuana be detectible in a urine test? I smoked a little the second week of November (for the first time in a year) Will this show up in a drug test?

    Not sure about the alcohol but I think you will be fine...

    As far as the Pot, you are definitely clean by now.

    From what I have read , the farthest back UA's for alcohol go is 80 hours ( 3 days and 8 hours ) . That test is sensitive enough that if you use alcohol based hand cleaner you might give a false positive !

    After alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream it leaves the body in two ways. A total of about ten percent leaves through the breath, perspiration, and urine. The remainder is broken down through the process known as metabolism.

    The rate at which alcohol is metabolized is the same for virtually everyone regardless of their height, weight, sex, race or other such characteristics.

    Alcohol is metabolized at the rate of .015 of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) every hour. 1 Thus a person with a very high BAC of .15 will have no measurable alcohol in the bloodstream after ten hours (.15 divided by .015 = 10).

    What type of test is being done for marihuana - if it's hair follicle it will show. I've seen people brought in for urine testing and ending up with hair follicle testing.

    EtG tests ethyl... (.whatever the "g" stands for ), which is a direct metabolite of ethyl alcohol and it can be detected for up to roughly 80 hours . These tests are pretty common and only cost about $20 to run .

    While you should be clear, I will have to assume this is a probation department test of some sort to be worried about drinking

    Be more afraid, of your friends getting mad and reporting you to the PO

    If you will show up positive for a drug and/or alcohol test greatly depends upon a number of factors, including the type of drug test performed.

    For example, typical alcohol tests will not show positive results after 24 hours and, depending upon the amount of alcohol, will not show up in a matter of a few hours. >Link Removed<

    For drug tests, positive detection also depends upon a number of factors, including the type of test. Will it be a urine or saliva test? Both have different detetion windows. >Link Removed<
