How Long Does Benzoylecgonine Remain In The Body?

I am pretty sure someone put cocaine in my beer. I was drinking quite a bit but I tried cocaine one time in college so I remember the feeling. My question is: Given I was drinking heavily, how long will benzoylecgonine be in my system? I get drug tested randomly and I am pretty sure my boss isn t going to believe my drink was spiked so I am pretty worried.
