I have to take an urine test tomorrow. I smoked little bit last thursday. I don't toke up that much at all anymore, maybe ONCE a week or two. Over the weekend though I drank a lot of beer, do you think it might have helped clear it out, sort of like water does? Ahh..I told my buddy I need his piss just to be safe

I think you might be in trouble since pot can be detected in the piss for a while. Drink as much water as you can until the test.

Alcohol can stay in your system up to something like 36 hours, and slows down your metabolism (I think?). Probably wasn't a good idea to drink a bunch this weekend.
I just took a drug test this afternoon, and they accused me of 'tampering' because my urine was just faintly yellow. I confessed that I am an above-average water-consumer, and the woman said she was too. They might send my test back and have me come do a new test, in which case I'm fucked (seeing as I won't know if I have to take a new one unless they call me, and I have friends coming in to town on Friday for just the weekend - I know I'm going to smoke. BAH!)

Don't stress, holmes. Do some cardio, drink a healthy amount of water, and wish for the best.
By the way, did you mean you havne't smoked since Thursday the 10th or the 3rd? I hadn't smoked since the 3rd and I was still freakin' out.

it matters how good the test they use is. some places use these cheep ones that you put this swab type of thing in your mouth and they suck and you will pass. . i have been tested many times. if it gets sent in to the lab you most likely wont pass but those are expensive so allot of places don't do that they use a dip stick type of thing and those are not to good ether. what type of job is it and maybe it will give us a clue to the type of test they use.

Drug testing as an everyday procedure for jobs is a massive invasion of privacy. No-one should accept it, write to your local government officials and complain.
Seeing as the constitutional right to privacy in America is strong enough to legalise abortion, I'm astounded that the constitution doesn't prohibit drug testing.

Cardio's kind of a double-edged sword in this situation... on one hand, it will boost your metabolism... on the other hand, THC is stored in the fat cells, and this will cause you to burn some fat cells and release that THC into your waste. *shrug* tough call there... but I'd probably stick to staying very hydrated and not much exercise.

Drinking water a few hours before the test is the best thing you can do. Diluting your urine can drastically lower THC metabolite levels. General rule is to like drink at least 32 oz and piss three times then go into your test and piss. If you take vitamin b complex boosters your piss will look yellow - just take one or two don't over do it or else it can be highlighter green piss. Don't over dilute as they can detect that with more expensive tests but usually if your test is dilute they will ask you to retest ounce, so definately stay clean until test results are back, people always forget to do this!! Supposely taking Aspirin can be helpful in some sort of weird way too.
Hope that helps a little.
Edit: And I agree with every word OdiumJunkie said.
