I do thank you for your insight, Dr. Bill, and I do believe that that pattern of drinking is self destructive. The 14 glasses of wine were drank over a period of 12 hours, spaced out. I believe some of the alcohol would have metabolized along the way. 5 glasses were drank, then a rest of 4 hours. Then 9 glasses were drank in the remaining 8 hours, spaced out as well. I am not even scheduled for an EtG test but am wondering because it has become popular in the workplace. Male, 46 years old, 187 lbs, thanks again

It's doubtful that EtG will be used in the workplace as it has no value in determining level of impairment. It is not allowed in federal workplaces or companies subject to their test guidelines nor is it allowed in companies with union workers. Never heard of it being used for other than total abstinence based programs.

If it's workplace, in all likelihood, it is no more than a urine ethanol test and/or breathalyzer. The latter is the only means of determining workplace drinking/impairment (besides blood, of course).
