Does drinking water work for clean urine toxicology screen?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Not only is it not effective, it's illegal to try to falsify the results of a toxicology screen.

Sometimes...but: Good toxicology labs test the ph and temperature of the urine to identify adulterants added as well as the specific gravity and creatinine (body waste product) content to check for dilution. Specifically short term "water loading" will cause creatinine levels from 2-10 which is reported on the report as a possible false negative and repeat test recommended.
