A member asked:
Likely that two single pour scotches 1 month prior combined with a single pour 2 weeks prior to a hair follicle analysis test positive for alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely: If I'm reading things correctly you are referring to three drinks in a months time. Hair testing is much more sensitive for chronic moderate-heavy drinkers. Even the best hair testing would have less than a 5% chance of picking up a (+) test with your quantity of drinking.
