Since no one's answered the question, yes it would show up on a test.
But not the breath analyser right? Do they use analanalyser, or just bloodtest?
The breathalyzer tests the alcohol in the breath. An analyzer tests it...well I'll let you figure that out.
It would show up on a breathalyzer. It doesn't measure what you drank, but rather what's in your blood.
The breathalyzer works because you're body tries to remove some of the alcohol through your lungs, not because of leftover traces from the physical act of drinking. That's why none of the various things people stuff in their mouth to try to fool the breathalyzer work.
