Can alchohol tests detect alchohol in system after three days?

Standard alcohol tests, such as breathalyzers and blood tests, typically detect alcohol in the system for a few hours to a day at most. However, certain tests, like urine tests, can sometimes detect alcohol metabolites for up to 48-72 hours after consumption, depending on various factors including the amount consumed and individual metabolism. In most cases, alcohol itself is unlikely to be detectable three days after consumption.

If you can pass a urine test can you pass a saliva test too?

Generally speaking Saliva tests are less accurate than urine tests and yes...Im not quite sure why you would be concerned if you can pass a urine test. Alcohol stays in your mouth until it evaporates or is washed away, so I wouldn't recoment drinking a beer then going in for a saliva test, but as far as marijuana and pill use the detection period on saliva tests is very very small, sites say several days, but its more like several hours. Saliva tests are generally used to detect ADDICTS (people who CANT stay away from drugs and alcohol) not casual use.

How well do saliva test work?

Saliva tests are generally effective for detecting certain substances, such as drugs and hormones, due to their non-invasive nature and ability to provide rapid results. They are particularly useful for assessing recent substance use, as substances typically appear in saliva shortly after consumption. However, their accuracy can be influenced by factors such as the timing of the test, the specific substance being tested, and individual variations in saliva production. While saliva testing is convenient, it may not be as comprehensive as other methods like blood or urine tests for some applications.
