Could you elaborate on which specific foods have been known to potentially trigger a false positive for alcohol consumption during breathalyzer or blood tests? Are there certain ingredients or compounds in these foods that mimic the presence of alcohol in the body? Additionally, how common are these occurrences and what steps can individuals take to prevent or mitigate them, especially if they are anticipating a test in the NEAR future?
