breatlizer verses urine drug testing

Published

So I passed my Urine drug screen today but not the breathalyzer part. We did have a Birthday Party for my Husband last night and I asked if that could effect it. They said yes. But I do not know what to make of this. Any suggestions

Welcome to Allnurses!

To answer your question, I'd need a few more specifics. Was the UDS for a new job, a random drug test, or are you in a monitoring program where you are tested at intervals? For employment I don't think a positive for ETOH would be a problem, people drink to celebrate special occasions. If you were tested as part of a program or if there's an investigation of an incident at work, you may be in trouble. Please specify so we can answer appropriately.
