Blood Drug Testing

Can Listerine make you fail a saliva drug test at Kroger?

Took a saliva drug test at Kroger, where you hold the thing in between your cheek and gum for a few minutes. Just realized that I used Listerine minutes before. Will this make me fail?

1. alcohol....test? possibly
2. Nope. Only ingredient in Listerine that's an issue is alcohol, and there's not enough quantity to skew the drug test.
3. YES!!! It has alchohol in it.
4. Yes it can anywhere not just at Kroger. It will show up as Alcohol in your saliva for a fact.
5. Not unless you used it seconds before.
6. It shouldn't. There is not enough alcohol in it to make a difference. Unless you used it right before I don't think you have anything to worry about.
7. no
8. All listerine does is kill bacteria. If it is a bacterial swab looking for some sort of oral infection, a doctor might have a harder time getting accurate results. I cant imagine it effecting the results of a drug test for any reason.
9. no, not unless it was a very sensitive test. I worked there during the holidays for extra income and had to take the test too. I also use listerine and I didnt fail. Tests do come back wrong my dear so I suggest seeing if you can get a retake.
10. I don't think it will register as any illicit drug...but you may fail....which can be a good thing if you need more time to prepare for the retest.
11. no
