So, I got a new job, a very good job. Now I must get a drug test. I don't do drugs, never have. I have however had a few drinks in the past few days. Does anyone who has experience or knowledge in these matters know if an employment drug screening tests for alcohol?

Again, I peed in a little clear cup and handed it to a nurse.
So, two consumptions take your body 2 hours to break down.
If your employer is really paranoid he could ask you to take a EtG scan.

For details. The EtG is unreliable.
Basically if you're in Western country... don't get drunk the night before a test and you are fine.
Watch out with cannabis and sleeping tablets though... they're traceable up to weeks!

Originally posted by PocketKingsNope. Nicotine is traceable for months, but you could inhale it at a friend's house, etc. So I can't imagine it has much use to test you for it (same reason the EtG is unreliable, alcohol is in too many products).

Originally posted by PocketKingsSome US companies are smoke free, and test for nicotine. I believe it is mostly motivated by the insurance companies.
