A member asked:

Could i pass a drug test by drinking a lot of water?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: because virtually every test now measures how concentrated or dilute your urine is, and if you have been water loading to dilute your urine, the test will pick that up, and you will fail that test. I strongly suggest you worry more about the drug problem you are trying to hide, than worrying about getting caught.
