Question: I have a drug test in the morning and last night I drank 9 beers!. I weigh 200 lbs and I don't know what to do!
SHOULD I call it off and take it in another month OR should I just take it tomorrow morning!? It will be about 35 hours from my last drink to when I go to the testing center!.

Answers:
Alcohol leaves the body at the rate of 1 unit of alcohol per hour starting after the very last alcoholic drink!. Unfortunately you don't say if the beer you're talking about were pints or bottles, or even the strength of the beer!.

All said, assuming that you drank pints and the beer was 5% vol: 1 pint = 2 units, so 9 pints are 18 units of alcohol!. I'd say that if you have more than 18 hours between your last drink and taking your test you should be fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Take the test tomorrow; alcohol is detectable in your system for up to 24 hours in a standard urinalysis!. You will be fine; you will pass!.

Check out the link for further reassurance!.

However, it can be detectable for up to 120 hours using an EtG (Ethyl Glucuronide) test, but that is expensive, and you'll most likely just take the standard test!.

If you have the option to postpone (unusual - these tests are usually done randomly, no with notice so that you can be prepared!.!.!.!.) then I suggest you do, and put the time down to experience!. Even so, at 35 hours, alcohol will still show but it doesn't follow that you'll be over the limit for safety work!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Do they ask you when you take the test when was the last time you had a drink!? If they don't ask this, you should be fine after 35 hours!. Drinking lots of water won't hurt either!.

But if they do ask this question, you don't want to lie, so maybe try to postpone!. Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

alcohol will only be tested through blood or by blowing in a machine!. within 35 hours the alcohol most likely won't show up by blowin in a machine and i doubt they gonna take blood from you!. if it's just a urine sample i'd say you have nothing to worry aboutWww@FoodAQ@Com

First of all, LOL at the idiots saying Alcohol isn't a drug!.

Secondly, 1 unit of alcohol takes one hour to pass through your system ( or so i've been told ) 1 can normally = 1!.5 units, nine cans = 13 units, 13 hours and you should be good!.

Next time don't drink!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

if you had 9 beers, you can forget about passing any screening test that determines alcohol levels in your system!. i'm not going to badger you about being stupid for drinking this close to a test, but i think it was a BIG mistake!.!.!.!.sorry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You'll be fine, alcohol is metabolized very quickly and thirty-five hours is more than enough (should be fine within about 12 hours of your last drink!.) Just don't drink the night before the test if you want to be careful!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Standard Drug test do not test for alcohol!. So don't worry about it unless this test is specifically designed to test for alcohol, like you were convicted of a DUI or something like that,Www@FoodAQ@Com

If its a drug test, its a drug test, not alcohol!. But if your worried, just drink lots of water to clean your liver/pancreas and in 35 hours there should be little (if any) trace of alcohol!.
I think you'll be fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If the requirement is you have to stay clear of alcohol - reschedule, period!. No matter what you do they will find the alcohol in your blood or enzymes that indicate you were drinking heavily!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Drug test do test for alcohol but luckily it leaves your system in 24hrs so dont call it off!!! Its okay! Good Luck! I promise my info is true so since its been 35 hrs you are ok!! =) Go take your test!.

p!.s!.-I REALLY CAN NOT BELIEVE ALL THE PEOPLE HERE THINK THAT ALCOHOL ISNT A DRUG AND THAT THEY DONT TEST FOR IT IN DRUG TEST!. THEY DO! EVERYWHEREWww@FoodAQ@Com

you should be fine, 35 hours is plenty of time for the alcohol to get out of your system but next time dont drink any alcohol if you know you have a test so soon!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think blood alchohol matters for a drug test!. Drink plenty of fluids there is a little remady you need coriander seeds and cumin boil and drink it about 12 oz's it helps flush out your system

also green tea worksWww@FoodAQ@Com

Why do you care, last time I checked beer isn't a drug, nor is it illegal!. If your on Parol or your an underage drinker, then your stupid and it will show up, and theres no way to reschedule!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

won't show up on most "drug" screens, but if you have 35 hours you'll be more than fine! if you meant 3 and a half it could be close if, for some strange reason, they test for alcohol in your urineWww@FoodAQ@Com

They don't normally test for alcohol!. Unless, you are not supposed to be drinking!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

alcohol takes about a good 24 hours to flush out of your system and pores, etc!.
35 hours later, you should be fine!.

have fun!Www@FoodAQ@Com

its a drug test not a beer testWww@FoodAQ@Com

eat a lot of bread the carbs will conterbalance the alcohal in your blood stream and urine it will take no more than 10-11 hours to get out of your pissWww@FoodAQ@Com

you say you have a drug test!.!. alcohol won't show up in a drug test!.!.!.

if your still worried drink heaps of water to flush it out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I agree- its roughly an hour per drink and then leave a couple of hours after that, so after 35 hours you will be fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

35 hours is plenty of time, just drink plenty of water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There is nothing illegal about drinking so don't sweat it! Oh and you might want to consider going on a diet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well perhaps you should have thought about it before drinking 9 beers last night!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

each unit of alcohol takes 1 hour to get out of your system 1 unit is approx half a pint depending on its strengthWww@FoodAQ@Com

It's a drug test, not an alcohol test!. Calm down, you were only binge drinking!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

tsk tsk tsk!.!.!.!.yes i say call it off just in caseWww@FoodAQ@Com

9 beers cant stay in your system for 35 hours!. you sound sexy though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Alcohol takes 24 hours to clear your system!.
