So I’m currently getting drug tested. My main thing is drinking. If I drink Friday OR Saturday night will any amount of alcohol show up in a urine test on Monday? Or even Sunday for that matter?
 
No. Alcohol has such a short half life it is only detectable in urine for 8-12 hours. I would wait 24 hours just to be safe if you are being tested by law enforcement.

Most urine tests don't even bother to check for alcohol, usually only law enforcement or courts do.

The urine tests for alcohol are:

  • Ethanol urine test: This test measures the ethanol (alcohol) in urine. Because ethanol is eliminated through the body quickly, these tests can detect very recent use only.
  • Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) urine test: EtG is an alcohol metabolite. Although EtG tests usually have a detection window of about 24 to 72 hours, the metabolite may be detected for up to 80 hours after alcohol use, especially with heavy drinking.
  • Ethyl sulfate (EtS) urine test: EtS is another metabolite. EtS urine tests usually guarantee accuracy only in the first 24 hours. But much like EtG, EtS can be detected in urine about 80 hours after heavy alcohol use.
