drug and alchohol test

[Drew]

res, the tests we do will detect opiates and cocaine based drug usage 1 month+ and then random screening during employment. Alcohol tests are not done unless there is an allegation of drinking on the job and that is accomplished with a breathalyzer. I wouldn't sweat the alcohol test...just don't go to an interview after drinking or taking alcohol based medications. BTW, for every 1 oz. of 80proof liquor or 1 12 oz. beer or 4 oz. glass of wine, your blood alcohol level rises 0.02%. So you need 3 drinks in an hour to register "impaired" (.05%) and 5 drinks to register "intoxicated" (.10%)... of course these figures pertain to driving under the influence. For every hour you abstain, your blood alcohol level subsides .02%. These figures vary according to your size and full or empty stomach. Good luck.
