Anything from blowing too hard (but that usually resets it to .00) to Listerine, or NyQuil, etc. Also if you drank the night before and it was still in your system. Give your job a description of what you had to eat/drink/medicines the day vefore the test and the day of if you are getting in trouble for this.
