Question

Answer
Hi Seth. It depends on what drugs you were taking the urine test for. Some drugs stay in your system a long time, some for just a short time. Also, drinking lots of water doesn't really help, and could actually cause you to fail the test, depending on the reason you were taking the drug test in the first place.
