Alcohol Detection Times
Determining exactly how long alcohol is detectable in the body depends on many variables, including which kind of drug test is being used. Alcohol can be detected for a shorter time with some test but can be visible for up to three months in other tests.
Breath: Alcohol can be detected in your breath via a breathalyzer test for up to 24 hours.
Urine: Alcohol can be detected in urine for three to five days via ethyl gluconoride (EGT) metabolite or 10 to 12 hours via the traditional method.
Blood: Alcohol can show up in a blood test for up to 12 hours.
Saliva: A saliva test can be positive for alcohol from 24 to 48 hours.
Hair: Like many other drugs, alcohol can be detected with a hair follicle drug test for up to 90 days.
