I am 4"11 n1/2 I weigh 132lbs. If I drank 2 to 3 50ml vodka shots a day from Sunday to Friday n 5 more on Saturday than used ready clean and have been drinking a ton of cran pomagrat juice and tons of water what are my chances of passing an EtG tomarrow at 9am?

Providing that you drank no more than 3 shots on each occasion, your consumption from Sunday-Thursday is of no consequence.

The number of drinks, and the time of each is important for Friday and critical for Saturday. I'm assuming Saturday was yesterday?

Not familiar with "ready clean". Does it claim to remove EtG? The key to EtG is mostly time. As I mentioned interpreting requires time of drinks until time of test.

I'm not sure. It's susposed to remove drugs from the system so I would think it could flush out alcohol! What do you think?

Don't think it makes any difference. 5 shots would be eliminated through metabolism within 10 hours at most. Alcohol isn't the problem. It's EtG that remains after the alcohol has been eliminated.

Hhow much would I have had to drink if an EtG test came back at 2,000g? What can caude a false positive? If they are so unrealiable can they use that in court?

EtG cannot be used to determine amount of consumption. Thousands of products can cause a false positive and right at the head of the list is the test itself (known for false positives), and the urine sample which can actually create EtG after collection in the container (p. 7, Advisory).

Anything can be used in court that is refuted by the opposing attorney. EtG isn't widely accepted by courts if the attorney has done the proper background. Most don't.

If I am hypoglycemic (diabetic) will that cause a false positive?

Yes it could. That's a problem in all alcohol testing.

Where did you get the figure 2000 ng that you noted above? Did you have false positive?

The 2,ooo test result

heatherbewak · Aug 8, 2012, 05:14 PM

How exactly is the 2000 result written? Is that the exact reading... and who said?

heatherbewak · Aug 8, 2012, 05:21 PM

Just checking the exact reading. That is from a confirmation test by LC/MS/MS. The even number could have been from a screen.

Diabetes and any type of intestinal infection can alter the test results. But you can't simply say that. A lawyer and someone who understands the test has to demonstrate that. 2400 isn't a high number, but the other side will claim that it is.
