I am more concerned: with your binge drinking, and the damage it will do to your liver, your stomach, your heart and to your LIFE than I am with your employment test. Most drug-testing does not involve alcohol, unless the person is known to have an alcohol problem and is required to remain alcohol free. If this is the case, YOU HAVE A BIG PROBLEM. There are tests now for alcohol that can detect it for many days.
