A member asked:

If i haven't consumed any alcohol in the last 60 hours will my blood draw come back negative?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: it should come back negative. Now if you have a problem with alcohol keep on this road, get further help, attend AA and take it one day at a time.

Yes: If we are testing for alcohol itself. There are metabolites that may still be up after a few days.
