Does Pale Urine Due To Drink Causes Dilute Urine Sample In A Drug Test?
Is there any chance that one 20oz starbucks would cause a dilute urine sample for a drug screen. I drank it about 2 hrs before the drug screen. I noticed the color was quite pale and will not get thid job if I test diluted. I had no other drinks and gave the specimen at 2:30 pm

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Drinking water or any other fluid causes dilute urine and drinking less water or other fluid causes concentrated urine.
However, change in specific gravity of urine will not change the result of drug screening.
Thanks and take care
