Will these help you?

Your question would be better answered with a little more details,so I have simply posted what a few other threads have had for answers.Hope they help.

Your question is unanswerable without the amount of alcohol consumed.

With 8 drinks, last at midnight, you're running damn close. The problem you encounter is that EtG is produced during the metabolism of the drinks which continues after you cease consumption. So let's say that you still had 3-4 drinks still coursing through your system. That could take 4.5-6 hours and EtG is still being produced. So you could be down to 57 hours clearance time or even less due to reduced metabolic rate while sleeping.

However, there is extreme variation between individuals in EtG production. Additionally, I'm assuming you have some history in drinking and that usually accelerates ethanol metabolism by about 19-23% (once again average). So any way you look at it you're on the cusp.

Best of luck.

Yes it is very close, I have to wonder why you drink knowing you have to test

Didn`t know

Dr Bill, I`m a 225 lb man. I drank on a Fri night till midnight, about 8 drinks and had to take an ETG test at 3 pm the following Monday 63 hours later. What are my chances of testing positive. The court uses a 500 nl cut off-wouldnt that increase my chances?

Do you know if this is an on-site test, as in a dip stick, or cup? Those are available now for EtG and are less precise than Gas Chromatography.

In direct response to your question, yes 500 cutoff is much better than the unofficial lab standard of 100.

However, I was basing my observation on a 500 test, one of the few naturalistic tests available. In that test involving consumption of 5 drinks (1.5 oz) none of the results were positive after 48 hours. This involved only a few individuals however. So you're still in that fringe area either way. But the higher the cutoff the less likely detection.

Each time you ask a question I am winding up on a different thread although they're all related. I don't know if it's me, you or the site?
