Drug test come back either negative or positive, and that's it. There are other more sophisticated tests that can be run, but most of the basic ones are "go-no go" tests. You are or are not positive for a given substance. It is or is not in your blood stream or has been in you as revealed by metabolic byproducts of the body's "processing" of the substance.

how many hours will alcohol be detected in a urinanylisis?

This depends on the type of urine test done. The basic urine tests will detect alcohol up to 48 hours depending on the weight of the person and how much was ingested. Some newer test can detect up to 80 hours.


How far back does the urine drug test detect?

It depends on the drug. An immunoassay for TCH, for example, may show traces for up to four weeks or longer, depending on the amounts used, weight of the user, and a couple of other factors. Others vary as well, generally below that length of time. A quantitative analysis, however, will determine how much is still in the system, and can be used to determine within certain limits how long since use occurred. THC (Marijuana) is stored in fat, and takes a long time to be released.

How long does it take to pass a pbt after consuming alcohol?

A PBT can detect alcohol for up to 12 hours. I work for a drug testing place and people will blow hot from drinking the night before. After 12 hours you pretty much can't tell if you drank or not unless you do an ETG, which is a urine test that can detect if you drank or not for up to 80 hours.

Can a drug test tell exact level of drug?

No. If they take a blood test then there will be some drugs in the blood but it won't say exactly how much you have used. If it is a urine test then it will be showing after it has been through your system. Yes. The test is quantitative, showing the level of the drug and/or its metabolite in your system at the time of the test.

If you past a urine drug test can you past a blood drug test?

Actually, urinalysis tends to detect most drugs far longer than blood tests do. A blood test only gives a positive for drugs active in your system at that time (i.e., you're high on at the time) and for a very short time thereafter, whereas urine tests detect the byproducts (metabolites) from the drugs after they're processed through your system, and there's varying times (THC takes the longest; LSD the shortest). However, because hair grows slowly (about 1/4th inch a month), drugs can show up much longer in a single strand of hair.

How much water do you drink to get heroin out of your system?

Heroin will usually stay in your system for 2-5 days. Drink several glasses of water so you urinate as much as possible before your drug test. But, be warned that drinking enough water to flush your system will result in clear urine which will be considered too diluted and you will fail your drug test. After you've drank enough water, and your urine is clear, drink enough soda to make you urinate a couple more times to make your urine a yellowish color.


How soon after taking medication can you pass urine test?
