    It is possible that EtG would be detectable within the general time span you report. Anytime your BAC exceeds .10 EtG elimination becomes more difficult to predict.

    BAC depends on your gender, size, weight, age, and particularly rate of consumption.

    You have provided a time span that could range up to 96 hours. Even at that time span detection is possible based on amount consumed.

    If you like provide the additional information as required from above and I will look more closely but it will probably still be a guess regardless.

    OK I'm not even sure if I even take an EtG test... its a monthly UA test... I know for a fact its not down with the 'dip stick' but I do have to I do have to intinal a paper when down and than its set on a cart with many others... im about 5'9 180 and I drink on a daily basis... so with the question I asked would your answer still remain... and if it's a reagular UA test how many hours before should some one stop consuming alcohol?

    You have me confused. If you drink on a "daily basis" then the 11 beers you drank days before are far less significant that what you drank the day before the test. This is providing the test is for EtG.

    The sample you provide monthly might be tested in various ways. But a monthly sample signed and directed to a laboratory is slightly in favor of EtG as opposed to ethanol testing.

    Based on the information provided, I couldn't come within 150 miles of an assessment.

    The elimination rate for alcohol is well established (within boundaries). Following is a link to a reasonably accurate calculator predicting time of elimination based on number of drinks consumed, considering size and gender across time. See BAC calculator. Please note that amount of alcohol consumed, therefore the BAC level, cannot be directly correlated to the level of EtG produced or elimination time. (Example, see Borucki, 2005)
