Consuming alcohol the night before a pre-employment drug test can have significant implications on the outcome.
Alcohol is a depressant that can stay in your system for several hours, depending on factors such as the amount consumed, body weight, and metabolism. During a pre-employment drug test, urine or saliva samples are typically analyzed for the presence of various substances, including alcohol. If alcohol is detected in your sample, it could result in a positive test, even if you are not under the influence at the time of the test.
