If you are trying to detox THC from your system for a drug test will drinking alcohol effect the results?

Hey man-

I've been a head for some time. I've passed many tests. The easiest thing to do is just stop using for 3-4 weeks (to be safe) before your test. For 99.9% of the population, after 30 days you'll be peeing clean.

I know that I have read (although I can't think of any of the sources to cite), that drinking alcohol WILL slow your bodies ability to process stored THC. If you think about it, it makes sense... when you drink alcohol, your body will convert it into simple sugars. It then will burn this new energy (or store it) instead of burning THC polluted fat cells you already have on your body. So if you spend a night drinking, yes you will urinate quite a bit, but you're not excreting toxins you have stored in your body.

I know it sucks. Believe me, I know, it sucks... big time. Bite the bullet, don't drink, don't smoke. Exercise for 1 - 2 weeks (LOTS of aerobics), and then the week before your drug test stop all exercising and start a high fat diet. Your body will be less likely to burn stored THC polluted fat cells. Drink LOTS of water before your test. The worst thing that can happen is you piss clear water into the cup and they call you back later for another test (which is just more time for you to get clean).

Another thing to look into... several drugs and diseases will actually cause false positives. So... if you lead the testing company to believe that you have one of these sicknesses, it might help cover your tracks... haha, then again it might just cause them to take a hair sample instead of a urine sample.

So that's a bunch of info... I'd say go for the exercising and high fat diet with a clean living lifestyle. A cool thing about running is that you might get a very serious "runner's high". If you burn enough calories, you can actually release enough stored THC to make you feel all kinds of baked. Its happened to me and is very pleasurable in the first few days of getting sober.

I know it's difficult but just think, as soon as you're hired you can roll up a fat chronic blunt.
