    Hi kadders
    The test is actually unreliable,Because it also picks up beauty/household products that contain alcohol because the test is to sensitive.like hairspray,deoderant,perfume,
    Nailvarnish remover,washing power,sanitizers, medications, hygiene products.people are testing positive for alcohol when they haven't had any
    Here is the link I hope you find it useful.

    Odd because on your other post you haven't had ANYTHING to drink in some time. I notice that (depending on which thread I am reading) you haven't had alcohol in months - or weeks. Which is it?

    I have a really strong sense that you are being less than truthful and looking for excuses.

    I'm an accident investigator. I cannot tell you how many people had a "sip" of beer (not to be confused with 2 beers) and ended up being charged DWI. And, no, their test wasn't wrong.

    Truthfully, I did use on April 30th. That was the last time I picked up. Other then that day I have been sober for longer then 100 days, I did have ONE slip up for a night but that wouldn't be in there.

    If you have failed your UA, ask for specifics... what exactly did you fail? Was it + for EtG or alcohol? What was your level? Did they also test for EtS? Do you have any health issues?

    It is specifically for alcohol I think. No I have no health issues at all.

    If the test is for alcohol and not EtG, the alcohol will be out of your system rapidly. A sip would be no issue. If the test is for EtG, if would depend on your definition of "sip" and when "Sunday Night" you took the sip. You may want to review Wojcik & Hawthorne (http://alcalc.oxfordjournals.org/content/42/4/317.full#T1). This article deals with lower levels levels of consumption, in a naturalistic setting.
