I am not attempting to give info about how to pass the test, but if he voids an hour before the test, he will have only the latest urine in his system that his body produced. If that urine still...

If you drank a gallon of water, you will probably show as dilute. As far as your chances of passing go, still more info is needed. When did you drinking start? I am figuring that you had around 11...

I am very interested in hearing your results. I have seen lots of results from EtG tests and rarely see anything + after 60 hours.

You will not have any EtG from that drink.

The amount of alcohol that he consumed would take ~48+ hours to drop below 1000ng. Do you know the level of EtG that showed up in his urine?

1000ng is a fairly high cutoff when compared to 100,...

Wait to see the results of the EtS. Do get a copy of your results of your first test. It will have your creatinine level listed as well. Your lawyer will need this if it goes that far.

Even if they ran EtG on the same sample again, the results would not be the same. Levels over twice as high as yours have been reported from incidental exposure.

Don't limit your exposure...

Yes! One thing is certain. The EtG from your 2nd sample will be different. EtG can be created in vitro. For now, they are saying the EtS is not.

Either way, if you did not drink, you should...

No, this is not the EtG test. The will test for current ethanol in your system. This test is usually looking for illegal drugs and usually includes THC (marijuana), Cocaine (Crack), Methamphetamine...

Great to hear. Thank you for your update.

I would be surprised if you failed. 80 hours is for extreme cases (liver issues, etc). Alcohol dehydrates the body and you probably needed some fluids and electrolytes. Just don't drink a lot of...

Nyquil can cause a + EtG. Ethanol is ethanol and it is in Nyquil. However, if you are subject to EtG testing, they should have mentioned products that you must avoid... especially meds that have...

You are probably in the clear. I thought that you would be.

While it is impossible to give an answer that is 100% definite, with only 2 drinks consumed, you should pass. Be certain to void 1 to 1 1/2 hours prior to testing and drink enough water so that you...

You will have no EtG from this drinking experience.

The EtG produced from Friday's drinking will have been eliminated. I suspect that Saturday's EtG will be gone as well, but that is much closer. It will all depend on your drinking patern that day...

You will be very close. Much will depend on the cutoff used, your level of hydration, and if you voided an hour prior to providing the sample for testing.

From all of the "real life" results...

Yes, they typically call (or bring you in) as soon as they know.

Stranger things have happened... they may have tested you for ETOH instead of EtG. Consider yourself lucky this time. I would not use this as a "passing guide" for yourself to establish a time...

You will have no EtG in your system from this alcohol exposure. As always, make sure to hydrate before testing and to void an hour or so before testing so that you test with the newest urine you...

Thank you for posting your results!

Sorry... ETOH = ethanol. Either way, you should be in the clear.

Grneyez77,

Given the amount of alcohol that you consumed and the time after your BAC should have returned to 0, you should have no EtG remaining from this exposure when you tested.

It is...

Sheldonia,

I just want to make sure that I am doing the math correctly. It appears that you had 7 drinks and you are estimating that it takes you 18 hours to metabolize them? You would be...

I must agree with ballengerb1. While not 100%, chances are very high that you will show EtG. You have less than 36 hours after BAC 0 (and probably less). Do you know the cutoff? It would have to...

The EtG test will only check for alcohol, but it is often done in conjunction with other ordered tests.

You should be fine. The shaving cream/gels don't have nearly as much alcohol as hand sanitizer. The alcohol is not absorbed through the skin. Those with + EtGs Inhailed the alcohol vapors. There...

While you are in the danger zone, I suspect that you will pass given your age, rate of consumption, metabolism, and hydration level. The unknowns here are the EtG cutoff used, what time in the...

I agree with allisterlq. You should have no EtG from this drinking episode in your system. Please post your results.

Do you remember when you had your 1st drink that day? Also, your height/weight, age, etc would be helpful.

If you drank over a several hour period, I suspect that you may be fine. Saturday at...

You will be fine after 88+ hours. Please see this site for a list of products to avoid: Important Facts about EtG and ETS Testing - Ethylglucuronide (EtG) and Ethylsulfate (EtS)

If you have not been contacted by the MRO, you should be fine. I have heard it take anywhere from 3 days to 10 days. 12 business days is excessive and would be an exception.

There will be no EtG from this exposure in your system.

Jwhite87,

Assuming that you have no major health issues, the EtG will not be detectable from 2 beers much longer than 48 hours (it that long) after your BAC is 0. Looks like you should have ~60...

Thank you for posting your results!

biffmcgee,

There is no exact equation. EtG is not cumulative. It appears that Saturday, you had around 8 drinks over 5 hours. You probably metabolized about 1 drink per hour. Add 9 to 12hours...

[QUOTE=mlbmom;3306880]thank you for the reply. Everything I have read online for BAC to zero after the amount of drinks I had, even given the time was 17-24 hours to BAC.[/QUOTE

mlbmom,

You...

The math doesn't add up. It appears that you had about 10 drinks. Since I don't know the pattern of how you drank, I will assume it was a fairly steady event. If you reached a BAC of 0 by 9 am...

When urine is obtained at the lab, they store it the same way you did. They will not be able to detect that it was refrigerated prior to you submitting it. I am surprised that the collector did not...

The detection time for 1 shot would be 36 hours or less. My response is assuming the shot is a standard shot. As always, make surethat you are well hydrated prior to testing.

With the amount of time that you listed, you should be fine.

Thanks,

Kevin

Dara7169,

To clarify, are you saying that you drank 12oz of straight Vodka? If this is the case, that would translate to about 8 standard drinks. Either way, for the most accurate reply, your...

There will be no EtG remaining in your system from this night of drinking.

Can you please provide when you started the bottle; your gender; your weight; I am assuming it's a 750 ml bottle of wine with 13% alcohol content. Do you know the cutoff used for the facility. 100,...

You will not test positive for this exposure. However, I am guessing (from their statement about 96 hour alcohol test) that they are using a low cut off, so be careful to avoid incidental exposure...

I am not sure what option #3 is, but there will be no EtG in your system from 168 hours after alcohol consumption.

I do think that option 2 does include EtG/EtS testing. EtS is another bio marker for alcohol. It has a similar (maybe a little shorter) detection time as EtG testing. Some labs run both tests...

How do you know it's an EtG test? What option did you get selected for? I think that the NCBON uses 500 for a cutoff, but Firstlab's site states, "Thus, based on the available published literature,...

Although it is always possible to fail an EtG test (even if you haven't drank any alcohol), The EtG from Friday/Saturday should be gone by Wednesday. Let us know how it turns out.

I would be surprised if you test positive, but you probably were making EtG until 6 am or so Saturday. That leaves you about 79 hours after BAC 0. While it is possible to test +, it isn't...
