Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I failed a breathalyzer on the job 16 hours after my last drink. My employer has a 10 hour rule wich i did not break however my BAC was .03 after 16 hours. This makes no sense to me. I have hashimotos and had regular doses of dayquil due to a cold. Can my thyroid and meds slow my absorption this much?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Dayquil varies and should not be taken in a context in which alcohol is going to be tested. Many things lower metabolism. Low thyroid, in theory, is one.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Matt Wachsman
