Question
My soon to be father-in-law was arrested with a DUI and is on probation.  He went and took a drug test and it came back positive with Methamphetamine, the crazy thing is he has not had contact with it at all (Use or Sight).  The current medications he is on are:
Night Time Sleep Aid~ a generic sudafed.
Cough and Cold~ ole cheapo Family Dollar  (he took this two weeks ago)
B12~vitamin

Can any of these be the culprit?

He does drink Alcohol... I dont know if this makes a difference.

Thanks for all your help.....

Answer
I cannot advise you. It is best to ask a local pharmacist.

If he has an addiction problem perhaps he should read:
