Default Discreet way of asking what type of drug test will be performed?

First and foremost, I apologize if this has already been covered. I didn't know what to search for (I tried "discreet what kind test", but didn't get anything relevant), and I skimmed the first few pages without finding anything similar, so I figured this itself was an uncommon topic.

Now then, onto the fun. I was accepted for a job pretty recently at a company I think will offer me good pay and excellent experience. However, I'm pretty sure the interviewer briefly mentioned a drug test (although I can't remember positively). I need to contact said employer soon to inquire on any other paperwork/formalities that I need to go through before I can start. If a drug test is required, I'm sure he'll mention it. However, I can't think of a decent way to find out what kind of drug test I'll be up against without giving away the hint that I'll be scheming in order to pass it. Think about it, it sounds suspicious:

"So, uh, what type of drug test will I have to perform? Hair? Urine?"
"Why? What do you have to worry about? As long as you're drug free, what should it matter? Hmm?"

This wouldn't be as much of a problem if I could do this during the phone or in person, as I could bring it up as sort of an unimportant aside, making it sound out of nothing but curiosity. But this transaction will take place through e-mail, and if I send an e-mail solely to find out what kind of drug test I'll have to go through, I'll definitely seem suspicious. Any ideas?

Thanks, guys. And wish me luck.

not sure if it'd work, but say you were planning on shaving your head for the warm weather and wanted to make sure they didnt need to take hair before you shaved it.

That's a good idea, I was thinking of this the other day. I can nonchalantly tell him that I plan on cutting my hair, but if I need to take a hair test, then I'll gladly wait until after.

Nova: True, I could just prepare for the worst. I could end up wasting money and time that way, but then again, it'd be worth it. I really want this job. If I end up chickening out, I guess I'll just do this.

For my last job I just asked the HR guy if the test was a blood test because I may pass out and I wanted to be prepared (I have never passed out from a blood test). His reply was "It’s only a urine test". I had a friend try out the same thing and the HR guy told him "its urine and a saliva test". So this has worked quite well so far, it comes across like you're scared of needles not a drug test.

I like the needle ploy, except that you could be opening the door for them to test in other ways. Blood might be as easy to pass as a Saliva Test. Good Luck

It’s really just a way to find out if the company gives hair tests. I’m really not worried about any of the other tests. I have been able to stall pre employ drug test for over a week. But, for me that’s not enough time to pass a hair test.

Thanks for the advice, guys. I found out that I'll actually be asking the medical lab directly what kind of test they'll be performing, so it's much less of an issue. The blood test idea is wonderful, in any case. To allay as much suspicion as possible, I'll probably still use that, plus with future jobs.
