Will I pass an ETG test after 71 hours?

You SHOULD pass the test but an ETG is not extremely reliable to begin with. It can give false positives and negatives.

Your pace of drinking, 6 beers across 7 hours, is in your favor. EtG production continues until all alcohol is eliminated from your system, "0" BAC, not from time of last drink.

By pacing drinks (1 ph) you are eliminating Ethanol at nearly the same rate it is being consumed (+.02h -.17h) That keeps peak BAC low and following last drink "0 BAC" would be reached within about 3 hours. So you had about 68 hour window for clearance of EtG. That should be sufficient, based on a 100 test cutoff, and amount consumed.

I agree with Bellengerb and re-emphasize his point about the unreliability of this test.

Yes, you should pass at the 100 test cutoff...and many are now using 500 as the cutoff and you would easily pass that one. All of the answers you receive are assuming you don't have any liver issues. If you remember, please post your results (pass/fail).

" well, not really.

i stopped drinking on sat at 9pm and had to take one on tues at 1pm and passed. the other day, i had two glasses of wine the night prior and took it and failed....i think you may be okay with that window....

I really wish people would come back on and say if they passed or failed these etg tests they were writing about in the first place! It would be sooo helpful!

I have one on tuesday around 4 and i stopped drinking saturday around 9 saturday. I had 4 drinks saturday and around 8 on friday. Anybody with experience? and by experience i dont mean passing with the same window after 1 beer. I mean getting a good buzz and passing.

new years eve i drank about 12 plus drinks from noon until 11 pm. i smoked some dope and pretty much hydrated until monday. about noon i used an omni flush. the atendent at the health food store said it would detoxify my liver. and i flushed. probobally pissed about 15 times on monday. i took my etg tuesday at around seven pm. this would give me about 68 hours. today is monday, tomorow will be a week...7 days. i get to meet my new p.o. tomorrow. so if anything came up...from my experiance they would have came bustin down my door. ive also read...i have to fish up the reserch..sorry. anyway there was a study with willing participants, basically in a nut shell, etgs are usless after 24-48 hours for light and moderate use. im from montana. d.u.i. ive been on paper for tree years. ive had dirty etgs. and as of the last year ive passed every one. im sopposed to discharge march 3rd 2012. as i said from my experiance i would have had a phone call or the swat team would have payed me a visit. im not positive that my method is working. 72 hours has always been good... less? i dont know????? guess we will see. 68? 60? lots of what if ****! i know what your all going through.... keep your head up.

I had 4 glasses of wine midday and tested 60 hours later negative. I am an esthetician and I learned in school about the healing properties of lemon juice. If you squeeze lemon in you water and drink a lot of lemon water the day before testing it stimulates your liver and cleanses your whole system. It is also very good for your immune system and your skin, it is an everyday good medicine for all over health. The immune system stems from your liver so with all the vitamin c in lemon and cleansing properties of lemon it truly is one of nature's treasures. Have you ever taken lemon juice to tarnished brass? Do it and see the results, that is what it also does for your body! good luck!
