  The worst things you can do when asked for a drug test sample

  What is worse than failing a drug test? Making yourself fail, or jeopardizing the opportunity to test clean. Here are some things that you should never do when asked for a drug test sample:

  Refuse to take the test: When you refuse to take the test without any grounds for it, you not only risking losing your job, but also looking suspicious if you decide to take the test later on. Even if you don’t want to expose your private life, there’s a good chance that you will be required take the test if you want to keep your job.

  Drinking a lot of water: Drinking too much water would only dilute your urine, it won’t get rid of toxins. If a sample is diluted, they can either reschedule you or fail you, it’s going to be up to them.

  Adding water to a sample: When you add water to a urine sample, it loses the characteristics that a normal sample would have and raises a red flag. Toxins can still be detected it in, but the test won’t go that far just because the sample failed to appear untampered.

  Niacin: Taking niacin in large dosage will give you the opposite of desired results: it is poisonous and an overdose brings on several adverse symptoms, which could include nausea and vomiting and even liver damage in severe cases.

  Substituting with someone else’s urine: A urine sample goes bad within hours if not refrigerated. Bringing refrigerated urine back to required temperature might be a hustle, and not only is time consuming, but if overheated will spoil the sample right away. Also, there is no safe way to store that urine before the test.

  Adding chemicals to sample: Trying to change the PH level by adding chemicals (like bleach, vinegar, eye drops, etc.) does not work – it won’t conceal drug metabolites in the sample, but alter the urine characteristics (just like dilution does) and the sample is just discarded.

  Using aspirin: Aspirin does not do anything as far as the drug test is concerned. If taken in large amounts, it might make it pretty clear that you attempted to temper the sample, but did not succeed in it.

  Drinking vinegar: Once again, vinegar, just like aspirin, water pills, cranberry juice, etc. – none of them blocks the presence of drug metabolites in the urine and can actually make it quite clear that you tried to mess with the sample.

  One thing that you should consider before taking your test – make sure that you have time to use a detox kit to secure the successful results.
