1. You will be fine. Alcohol is not something tested for on a standard drug screen and does not stay in your system that long. Of course you should not take this as the go-ahead to drink. Please be responsible.
2. You are ok. EtG/ Alcohol is not part of the standard drug test, it is not uncommon to test for in some situations. It is less common in pre-employment tests, but is relatively common for parole testing or random on-the-job testing, especially for safety sensitive jobs. Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG) Urine Testing info Standard alcohol urine testing detects alcohol use for Urine testing for 6-24 hours. Ethyl glucuronide (EtG), a direct metabolite of alcohol, offers an extended window for detecting consumption. Published studies differ on detection period, stating ranges from 80 hrs up to 5 days. This test requires expensive equipment to perform and is less widely used.
