Urine tests generally don't test for alcohol. The more common urine test administered something with a "-5" in it tests for: Cannabis, Cocaine, Amphetamines, PCP, and Opiates. Not to mention Alcohol is only (in blood tests) detectable for 72 hours. (3 days)

i have never heard of an alcohol urine test. cops usually test for alcohol by breathalizer or by blood testing. and alcohol only stays in your system for 24 hours. it does not stay in for days or weeks like other drugs. and after about 6 hours of not drinking you would have very little trace of alcohol on your breath and the only way you could be tested for alcohol by then would be by doing a blood test. hope this helps

If you ate it. That's the only other way it would actually be in your system. Drug tests do get messed up and some over the counter and prescription drugs have been reported to cause false positives for THC. The best advise I can give is to ask for a retest and tell them of any medications you take.

If I drank alcohol Friday evening and had to take a urine test the next evening would it show up positive for alcohol?

Well there is two types of alcohol tests. One test for your urine is a simple 24 hours test for alcohol which will come up negative if it is the next night. That test runs by drink per hour. But there is a test called a ETG test. This test WILL detect alcohol in your system for 72 hours after your last drink. This is a urine test and it will hold up in court if you come up positive. Tehre is now way to get around it. So stop drinking if you have to take a urine test for alcohol. Oh and i know this beucase i run a urine drug testing clinic.


You had five beers will it show in your urine twelve hours later?

Alcohol only stays in they system for about 12 hours depending on how much you have had to drink. Alcohol breaks down in the body and makes it difficult to detect through urine. Alcohol is detected through blood alcohol level more accurately. Alcohol is processed by the liver at a rate of one ounce of pure alcohol in one hour. After that period, they can only test for the metabolites of alcohol. One once of alcohol is equal to one beer. Answer: Not Likely, but drink lots of water anyway to clense your system.
