Hi,

Natural length body hair provides evidence for up to 6 months. So Hair Alcohol Abuse Test will be going to be positive for you. It will detect that you consumed more than 60 gms of alcohol, which defines as alcohol abuse by WHO.

Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work Let me know if you have any further questions.
