    I drank on Friday will I pass an EtG test on Monday
    On Friday I had about 10 drinks no more but possibly less over the weekend I didn't exercise or drink huge amounts of water but and had a glass of cranberry juice before I went to bed my test was at 4:30 on Monday and I drink a little over a half gallon of water starting at about 3:00 ending at 4:15 and urinated about 5 to 6 times before I took my initial test what are the chances that I passed? I'm a young male 6'4 and about 270 lbs

    Not knowing how much you drank nor the time of drinking on Friday it wouldn't be possible to estimate elimination.

    In general terms, 10 standard drinks (15 oz total) would require 60-80 hours for EtG to be below detectable level (100 ng/ml). But EtG levels are always an unknown. Some people create more EtG some less. The variation between individuals is so great as to render estimates near useless.

    About all that can be said with certainty is that time is the major element. The longer the time span between the last drink and sample provision the less the likelihood of EtG detection.

    It is well known and extensively published that EtG is diminished by water and a less concentrated urine will contain less of the metabolite. Flushing immediately before a test however will often cause the sample to be rejected for dilution. Samples should be checked for specific gravity and creatinine (that isn't always done).

    If you tested Monday and asked this on Wednesday, you very well may have passed... they probably would have contacted you already(or will today) if you did not pass. As far as timing goes, you appear to be very close. Drinking water does help. Be sure to void about an hour before testing so that the urine you give is the newest made by your body.

    If you happen to know your results and have specifics to when your last drink was, when you started, and when you tested, please post it.
    I hope all went well.

    If I drank two beers Friday night and two beers Saturday night, should I be able to pass an EtG Monday afternoon about 3:00 PM?

    Probably not.

    I am interested in seeing if you did pass. The EtG created from the 2 drinks from Friday is probably well gone, but Saturday is close... I still suspect that you might pass and probably will pass if the cutoff is 500. As it has been documented here MANY times, the amount of EtG created by a person is variable (even for the same person)and as a best guess, you can just look at averages.

    Report back when you get your results.

    Hell yeah, Super happy to hear you passed. I am in the same boat right now as I tested at 6:30 this Tuesday and had similar amount of drinks on Saturday night. Will post on results if I hear.
