Cocaine metabolites: Are detectable longest in saliva of chronic users of high doses; i.e., the time frame depends on duration of use + dose. The alcohol level in saliva correlates to the blood level. Specific urine tests that detect alcohol up to 4-5 days are often done for confirmation. Saliva screening done on-the-spot identifies most of those in need of assessment & treatment for alcoholism or substance abuse.

Stop.: You don't need an answer to this question. You need to get off this stuff. Alcohol in moderation is fine unless you're an alcoholic. With a crack Cocaine habit, you probably can't handle alcohol either. Get help and get free of substances that ultimately will kill you early!
