What are the causes of false positive blood alcohol test results?
There are several factors to consider in a false positive blood alcohol test. Firstly blood test and urine toxicology test are currently the most reliable method in diagnosing over consumption. However, many medications such a dilatin can produce higher sodium serum in the blood stream. So a person who only had 1 drink then an hour later takes this medication will result in a reading exceeding the 80 mgl level which is the toxic level. The absorbation rate on some medication such as this is rapid and produces higher sugar levels along with high level of naturally occurring metals such as iron, aluminum ect... the combination of these levels raised the intoxication effects causing a dramatic increase of 40% in the actual reading.

Not sure of other anti-seizure medication, but they all seem to have same side effects.
