If they give you a drug test is alchohal known as a drug ? ? ?

Answer 1

Alcohol is both a food and a drug.

Alcohol is classified as a food because it has calories.

It is classified as a drug because it directly effects the nervous system.

If I am correct, alcohol is the only substance that fits into both categories, simultaneously.

However, drinking alcohol is not illegal, unless you are underage or driving, or will be driving.

Answer 2

If they do a true drug screen (urine) they are looking for illegal drugs, THC in pot, barbiturates, cocaine, heroine, etc. There is a separate test for alcohol like the blood test done in an ER if there is suspicion of drinking after an accident for example.

Answer 3

it is a drug but not tested for in the NIDA5 which is the most common standard drug test and even if you were tested it is only detectable in a urine test for 6-24 hours

Answer 4

yea alcohol is a drug but usually they are looking for other drugs not alcohol...
unless your taking it for an alcohol assesment or drug test for alcohol

Answer 5

If your over 21 and not prohibited from drinking alcohol then you have nothing to worry about but it will show up. What they are primarily looking for are controlled or illegal substances
