Can CDT Test Results Detect The Alcoholic Levels In A Binge Drinker?

Hi. I have a CDT test coming up sometime in late April as part of getting my driving license back after a drink driving conviction.Im not a heavy drinker at all but more a binge drinker once a month type person. My last drink was a week ago and im looking to see if this will affect my results with the test. I will not drink again till i have taken and passed the test.Im 35. Male and athlectic in fitness.Any advice would be helpful and aid in putting my mind at rest.

Depends a bit on the type of test. Judging by your saying this is April and it's August I strongly suspect this site has very old questions.
Breahalyzer will not show up by 24 hrs. ETG test is called the 8 day test and by 8 days it is certainly negative (proably less than 8 days).
