Can drinking large amounts of cider vinegar every day cause false pos on BAC Uri!
Question: Can drinking large amounts of cider vinegar every day cause false pos on BAC Urine test?
I have just learned that there is trace amounts of alcohol in cider vinegar. I have also learned of the health benefits of drinking vinegar. Every day I fill a coffee cup about 2/3 full of hot water. then 1 TBSP Honey, and 10 TBSP cider vinegar, and a cinnamon stick. I drink this 2 to 3 times pr day, and have come to enjoy this flavor. However, Due to my probation I am not allowed to consume alcoholic beverages. And I do not.
But have never considered vinegar to be alcoholic. Could this healthy habit possibly lead to a false positive if I were to be given urinalysis?
THANKS :)

Answers:
First of all, I do not think that drinking vinegar is a healthy habit.
It depends on quantities, but in the past people (silly women) die for drinking
too much vinegar.
Said that, unless your American vinegar is so rich in alcohol (and I do not think so)
the amount of alcohol you drink is totally negligible.
In any case, if you have doubts you can just avoid this meaningless drink just for the day
of the analysis. Alcohol is not like cannabis: it disappear quite fast from your system anyway.
