A blood test is the only way to measure blood alcohol concentration accurately. Alcohol breath testers (Breathylizer, etc.) actually only estimate the blood alcohol concentration.

If I drank beer on Friday night and have to take a urine test on Saturday will I test positive for alcohol?

Most drug tests do not test for alcohol. The most common drug test, the so-called "five panel" or DOT panel only tests for the presence of Marijuana, Cocaine, Amphetamines, PCP, and Opiates. A special test has to be ordered in order to test for alcohol specifically. It also depends on what sort of urine alcohol testing is being performed. If the test is a simple urine alcohol test, then the answer to the question is dependent on how much you drank and how long it's been since you quit. If the test is an EtG (ethyl glucuronide) test, however, there is little room for escape.

Can creatine and vitamine b12 help pass an alcohol test?

No, creatine and vitamin B12 cannot help you pass an alcohol test. Alcohol tests typically measure the presence of ethanol in the bloodstream or breath, and these substances do not affect alcohol metabolism or detection. While creatine might influence some urine tests, it does not alter blood alcohol levels. The only reliable way to pass an alcohol test is to abstain from drinking alcohol.
