Can Drinking Large Amounts Of Cider Vinegar Every Day Cause False Pos On Bac Urine Test?

[Eadgar]

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 :)

Ten tablespoons is five ounces. That five ounces of cider vinegar is equal to the amount of alcohol in, say, five beers. Except it's vinegar, not alcohol. The "trace amount of alcohol" begin in a mere five ounces. One percent of that would be less than a third of a teaspoon, which amount would be processed and out of the system very quickly. But even in an immediate test, that 1/3 of a teaspoon is diluted by five quarts of blood in your system, 160+ times as much. I'm unsure any equipment used by parole officers could even detect that low an amount.  Congratulations on the healthy drink.

I drink apple cider vinegar(with the mother) in water. It's very refreshing. I don't know about the health claims, but I enjoy it.

I read something along those lines, too. So basically, the asker, if he/she is popping positive on the urinalysis, it probably isn't the apple cider. The amount of alcohol in the apple cider is negligible - so it's a non-factor.

In less your drinking red wine vinegar, then thats just a different story.Cider Vinegar from the web: Apple cider vinegar is made by crushing apples and squeezing out the liquid. The fermentation process begins by adding sugar and yeast. The yeast turns the sugars into alcohol. Later, the alcohol is converted by acetic acid-forming bacteria into vinegar. Acetic acid gives vinegar its sour taste. Apple cider vinegar products are advertised in the popular press and over the Internet for treatment of a variety of conditions or various health benefits. However, I am not able to find human research regarding the health benefit of apple cider vinegar. At this time I cannot recommend an apple cider vinegar diet for weight loss since I have not seen any research to support the relationship between ingestion of apple cider vinegar and weight loss. However, even though there has not been much human research, it is possible that apple cider vinegar has health benefits that we are not aware of yet. 68 months ago

Well, let's do the math. Ten tablespoons is five ounces. That five ounces of cider vinegar is equal to the amount of alcohol in, say, five beers. Except it's vinegar, not alcohol. The "trace amount of alcohol" begin in a mere five ounces. One percent of that would be less than a third of a teaspoon, which amount would be processed and out of the system very quickly.
