    Will I pass an EtG test after 60 hours?
    Is the 80 hour detection of alcohol through an EtG test just the worst case senerio?
    If I, a 24 year old male, 130 lbs. drank 6 beers, would I be able to pass an EtG test?

    80 hours and above is unusual. See summary by Wojcik & Hawthorne.

    Over what period did you consume the 6 beers and the time of last drink. Looking for time span from last drink to test.

    If you know the cutoff for the test it would be helpful.

    DrBill,
    Thank you for your quick response.

    The beers were consumed in a 2 hour time span.
    I am not knowledgeable of the cutoff levels, and do not know which one is being used in this situation.
    So what would be the worst cutoff?
    And would it be passable in 60 hours?

    At your weight and short period of consumption you would have a BAC at time of last drink in the vicinity of .12-.14. That could require 12 hours for elimination of alcohol, during which time you are creating EtG, and leaving only 48 hours for EtG excretion.

    That could be enough time but it's close. Beginning with that BAC I would estimate closer to 60 hours to be safe. But those figures are widely variant.

    The lowest cutoff is 100 ng/mL but more are switching to 500.

    The higher the cutoff the better the chance of passing.

    Isaacovation,

    DrBill pretty well summed up the answer; a couple factors that play into the equation as well are incidental exposure (mouthwash, hand sanitizer, certain foods, etc) and amount consumed. It.might help if u avoided those things in the meantime. Best of luck
