Given the fact that they are two totally different things, it shouldn't. It depends on the type of test being done and what they are looking for. Alcohol is a depressant, so that would show up as a depressant on a test. Something like sleeping pills are generally benzodiazepines and will show up as benzo's, if that's being looked for or can possibly show up as a depressant if the test is a cheap test. Even though Ambien is a sleeping pill, it is in a totally different category than other sleeping pills. It's a hypnotic drug, not a benzo or a depressant. So I do not think that it's possible to give a false positive for alcohol
