Add water to the cup then pee in it a little sent to a lab will it come back positive for alcohol

Fr_Chuck · Apr 23, 2012, 10:19 AM

It will fail because of the water added to it, they will see you voided the test.
** that is worst normally than failing the test on your own. Not only do you fail but you committed fraud in doing so

what do you mean it will fail there was someone right there watching me they never saw the water will it test positive for alcohol

It will test that there was water added. Water is not urine. Temp of water is not the same, adding water will just automatically fail the test and show that you committed a fraud taking the test.

by the time it got to the lab it was well mixed up plus they mailed it to the lab fedx

Does not work like that, water is still water, water is not urine and it will show up.

Wondergirl · Apr 23, 2012, 11:18 AM

And the water does not dilute the urine to keep the alcohol from showing up. It's only a mixture, like mixing applesauce and peanut butter. Both can be separated out again.

If you want to argue, do that with your friends. If you want legal advice: water will test when the sample is run. You cannot mix urine and water without it showing up in the test results. The test will show what has passed through your kidneys and what has not.

And on a sarcastic note - you don't think anyone has ever thought of this before? The joke is "why is his urine blue?" "Because he didn't remove the toilet deodorizer before he scooped the toilet water into the test tube."

Took a urine test was able to fill the container with some water and some urine it was then sent to the lab by fedx well it show positive for alcohol and how long will it take before I find out

OK thank you

DrBill100 · Apr 23, 2012, 02:27 PM

Are you indicating that you added water to the sample? If so how much in proportion to the urine would you estimate?

ADDED: Any substantial addition of water would not remove the alcohol but would dilute it. Dilution is automatically tested for by checking specific gravity and creatinine.

Your sample will be returned as untestable, diluted or possibly substituted based on the two factors noted above.

The sample should have been checked for temperature at point of collection. Did no one check that?

1/4 water

It will certainly be dilute and rejected.

Can't imagine that much water not dropping temperature below acceptable range at point of collection.

Usually not but on request it can be tested and then returned as positive but dilute or negative but dilute (with that much water). Either way the results should be negated.

How much alcohol did you drink?

This is an amazing story. Someone watching yet able to add water, no temperature check, the coloration of the urine should have been checked. The sample should have been rejected on-site.

Was this a collection center... who's doing this test.

Thank you Dr Bill, he was not believing me in the other post. He just knew that water diluted it, I told him adding water would fail the test ( show up that water was added) and be worst from the PO side than just failing the test since it showed he cheated the test.

Also he does not realise there is a safe guard at the point of testing that will indicate if the temp is not correct for urine in the body

I will say that at many collection points the person watching feels self cosciense about watching and often do not watch as close as they should.

Most people are smart enough to know that diluting it does not work and try to use someone else's urine which is why the temp issue is always watched.
