Help please! could cough syrup cause a positive on a urine test for alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Depending on the sensitivity, yes. Some cough syrups have alcohol in them. Tell the tester all of the meds you took so they can check for those and clear those off the drug test if it checks out.
