Time to start sporting flasks to work!

WSJ: "Federal Agency Warns That Alcohol Test Isn't 100% Reliable"

What can set it off: alcohol-based sanitizers, alcohol-containing foods or medicines.

Apparently, if you leave a bottle of juice out for a while or if it sits in the fridge up to the expiration date, it can accumulate a little alcohol (by no means enough to get you drunk, but enough to set off the EtG).

So, if your urine test ends up positive, all you have to do is say, "Ack! Left the apple juice out again!"

The days of smuggling flasks to work may soon resume. One can only hope.
