YES. The breakdown: product of alcohol (ethanol) , ethyl glucuronide, is detectable for up to 96 hours after even after a small amount of alcohol consumption. There's no direct relationship between the amount of alcohol consumed and the concentration of ethyl glucuronide in the urine. This could b a problem if your workplace has a zero tolerance policy for alcohol. Hope this helps. Dr. Anne

Depends on the test: The length of time it takes your urine to test "clean" depends on what exactly is being tested- there are tests for alcohol itself, but also for metabolites of alcohol (EtG is the main one) which can last up to 80 hours in the urine. so if you are tested during that window it will likely test positive. but its not illegal to drink alcohol, and testing positive might not result in losing the job
