EtG test (80 hour Alcohol test) - Drink Friday will it be there on Tuesday/Wednesday?

smash052 · #1 Nov 9, 2007, 05:51 AM

I drank a few pitchers and a couple shots on Friday. I will either have to test on Tuesday or Wednesday. Wednesday is a must, but I could get called for random on Tuesday!!?!?!?!

Testing for what? Unlike other drugs, alcohol only stays in your system for 24 hours. If Friday is the last time you've had anything to drink (btw, isn't today Friday?), it's not likely that any traces would show up on Tues. or Wed.

ok I'm planning on drinking tonight. The EtG test can find it in your system up to 80 hours after you consumed your last drink.

SO, Don't drink!!!

Obviously this is something you shouldn't be doing or you wouldn't be questioning the testing( or getting tested for that matter)

Are you an alcoholic?

Um no - I'm not an alcoholic!!! I have to take these b/c I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and it had nothing to do with me but stuff happens and I'm doing what I have to do to get this over with, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to go out from time to time.

Why not just not drink this weekend so that you don't have this problem last longer. I would say that not drinking for one weekend is doing what you have to do to get this over with. It should not be a problem for you to not drink for one weekend if you don't have a problem.

Ok people I'm asking for an answer not opinions. One weekend - totally not a problem!!! I've been doing it, but it's for a year. I bet not one casual drinker would want to have to do this. It's nice to have a glass of wine with dinner or a couple beers.

Answer:

Drinking before a known test for drinking is taking a chance, not necessary, and might be considered risky behavior,.

Its your life, you take the chance of failing on your own.

We only meant well by our responses,and are supremely sorry( I am anyway) for treading on your feet.

I guess you have to weigh your options. A beer with dinner and run the risk of it not being out of your system or no beer. I am not a huge risk taker so I know what my answer would be.
