You might fail for dilution now... which is still a fail.

They specifically look for dilution because people think they can drink enough to flush their system to hide their consumption. And doing that screws up your body chemistry for even longer and you can't hide that.

Although I have eaten and taken daily vitamins as well, Im sure your right. I also understand the "80hr" rule that the time limit so to speak does not start immediately after the last drink but rather later. So Saturday night to Tuesday night put me at 72 hrs and the test is wed. I know after this experience the best thing is to not drink, its not worth the worry. Thanks.

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 water for a couple of hours prior to the test and you will not show as dilute.

If you can make it 70,80+ hours without drinking, you can make it through your monitoring without alcohol. I am sure that you will agree that it's not worth the stress that you have felt the past several days.

I can't say I was worried for nothing although I had no test today, I know that staying clean is a lot more easier than the stress and sleepless nights that this put me through.
