Alcohol stays in the system hours not days. Marijuana, varies. While if you take one test dose of marijuana it goes away at most several days, there are reports that in chronic habitual marijuana users they are stained by it through and through and it can pop out of deep tissue and fat weeks after using. Generally 3 weeks would be negative.
