    Is this for work or probation?

    I thought there was to be no drinking during probation.

    It won't be three days, but less time than that. The EtG is sensitive and tends toward the positive, so this will be a very close one. I strongly suggest, especially if you manage to pass this one, not to put yourself in jeopardy again (i.e. DON'T DRINK!) while on probation.

    No one knows how this test will pan out for you. The test is under scrutiny by researchers for all the false positives. You are taking chances by drinking.

    Some experts say anything before the 80 mark is an automatic fail. Others say it's closer to 5 days. The thing is, there's really no formula that can accurately guess per individual. You may have a high metabolism, but how how? How did you calculate that your metabolism is high

    In other words, there's not mathematical equation where we can plug in your age, your metabolism, the amount of alcohol you drank, the number of hours since you drank, and find out if you'll pass the test.

    At 3 days it could go either way, and that's really the only advice anyone can give you.

    Good luck.
