How long will alcohol still show up in breathalyzer, urine, and blood tests?
If someone goes out to the bar one night and drinks how long will it take to not show up on a breathalyzer? I know it varies by drinks but I don't know all the specifics to it. Let's say they drink 5 Blue Long Islands between the hours of 10pm-3am or they have 5 beers within that same time period. (Assume we're talking about a female, 130 pounds if that makes a difference), about how long will it take for them to have no alcohol show up on a breathalyzer test (not just for them to be under the legal limit but to be totally clean)?
And in the same scenarios about how long would it take for them to be clean on a blood test and also a urine test.
Thanks in advance for any responses!

Extra info but the test wouldn't be done until 4pm, so if a person stops drinking at 3am should they generally be clear on the breathalyzer by then.

For breathalyzer it would be 8-12 hours before you tested clean. I urine and blood both, depending upon what test was used it would be anywhere from 24 hours to up to 8 days, again depending upon which test was used. People that are on probation for DUI or Drugs in some states are required to take a pee test once a week, the type of test used can detect traces of any alcohol up to 8 days after consumption. If the test is being administered by law enforcement, the test would only detect anything consumed in the last 8-12 hours. Wether is was test by urine or blood, but if the testing is being done say for background check for employment where it is being sent to a lab, they can detect much farther back.

well for airline pilots, there is typically a 24 hour period required for any alcohol consumption and the time they fly.
SO they answer to your question would likely be a minimum of 24 hrs.

I know it takes 15 hours for alchohol to go through the major organs. I suggest teh 24 hrs to be safe, also.

the liver can digest 1 beer per hour...10pm-3am is 5 hours so you would be pretty clean, i'd give it an extra hour or so (just to be safe) (6 hours instead of 5)
