Will the court order a drug test for an alcohol related arrest? I have court soon for some charges I racked up during a ridiculous drunken night (it was not a DUI). I was thinking about taking a drug test on my own (substitution) to take in my defense just to show that I have stayed clean (which I haven't). Is this a bad idea because they might want to verify the test by having my do a supervised test?

I had a court date back in March, and I was clean then, so I actually went to the courthouse to take a supervised test and took that to court with me. They just continued the date to June, and I was gonna do the same thing again (i.e. quit enough time to legitimately pass), but they moved my date forward and I think I waited too long to stop. My lawyer told me back in March that I should take another drug test in May to take for the June date, but I don't know what to do now... I could be worse off than if I just don't take one in at all.

What is the likelihood that they will drug test for an arrest where drugs were not involved (other than alcohol)?

Thanks for any personal stories or knowledge you can offer.
