Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

If you had alcohol on friday and then tested positive until saturday afternoon then that is acceptable. It will go out of your system within 12 to 24 hours and by tuesday it should not be measurable in your system. You need not worry for abnormal test results due to alcohol consumption on friday.
