A member asked:
I was completely sober for almost 100 days....then i drank approx 6 drinks on one ocassion. would that show up on hair or nail test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it can: It could show up. It would depend on the drug screen used in the testing. Nails take up to 6 months to grow out fully. So, the evidence is there. Testing is quite sophisticated, and if ethanol is included is the screen used, it can be seen.
