    Alcohol can be detectable for up to 14 days, but mostly only court ordered drug tests will run the test required to detect alcohol that long. If you work for the railroad though, expect hair follicle tests and they will know everything you put in your body.

      I’m sure it can be. “Detectable” is the keyword here. That’s probably the maximum (with hair follicle tests and shit), but not the norm for the typical piss tests that test for alcohol metabolites (like EtG or EtS). Those metabolites are present in your urine for 2-3 days.

      I know this, because I’ve seen people get popped for eating Chicken Marsala at a wedding the night before.
