JeffB Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 Blood etoh levels (alcohol concentration in the blood) and the detection of the specific proteins associated with SARS2 infection (COVID) are not related in any way. Nor is a COVID test going to detect you are over the legal limit to operate a motor vehicle. Just in case you are worried about that.

Yes, you will test positive for a new variant called "COVID Colada"!!! If you're looking for a more serious answer, I would go with what @JeffB said.

KevinJ Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 Related to testing, anyone know if getting a COVID Booster 7 days before testing for a cruise would affect the test results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 From the CDC web site busting myths and vaccine misinformation. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/facts.html?s_cid=11353:testing positive after covid-19 vaccination:sem.ga:p:RG:GM:gen:PTN:FY21 teddy and KevinJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngfei Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Interesting question. What makes you think that the test can check the blood alcohol content? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattycruise Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 I registered for a Covid test for when I get back from my next cruise. It's an oral swab and we cannot eat or drink anything including gum, mints or lozenges, tobacco, within 30 minutes of test No mouthwash or toothpaste within 60 minutes of taking the test either. My guess is alcohol is a no no within the 60 minutes. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
