If alcohol in mouthwash can make you fail a breathalizer or what about a inhailor from asthma?

Alcohol in mouthwash may cause you to fail a breathalyzer test because the residual alcohol remains in your mouth for up to 15 minutes after using. The breathalyzer will pick up this residual alcohol in your breath and not differentiate whether it came from mouthwash or beverages. You should never take a breathalyzer test within 15 minutes of taking mouthwash or an alcoholic beverage in order to let the residual mouth alcohol dissipate.Mouthwash can cause a positive result on an ETG test. Whether or not an asthma medication could do the same thing would depend on whether it contained alcohol, how often it was used, and when the test was give.

Can diabetes cause false positive alcohol test results?

No, diabetes has no effect on blood alcohol content. That depends on what type of test you are referring to... Acetone (or other ketones) in the blood/body, whether because of Diabetes, other illness, or some Diets CAN, and often DOES cause false positive alcohol test results if tested with a Breathalyzer. It may not affect the actual blood alcohol content, but it CAN cause false positive test results... THAT is why the result is called a FALSE positive.

What can cause a urine test to be positive for alcohol when alcohol wasn't consumed?

We are guessing that you took an EtG test, which tests for a metabolite of alcohol called ethyl glucuronide. You do not have to consume alcohol in order to test positive. The EtG remains in your system in detectable amounts for up to three days, and exposure to small amounts of alcohol in the hours before the test can cause positives. That includes after shave, mouthwash, and some cosmetics and lotions. For that reason, most experts recommend that EtG screens not be used for non-therapeutic tests. It is such an easy tool, however, that many agencies continue to use them as they are nearly impossible to scam. If it was not an EtG test, then someone was consuming alcohol. End of story.
