    So then I would be clear?

    I have been reading several of your replies to people, and I just can't see how I would be clear or at least not in the red zone, can you please tell me how? I do have a fast metabolism but I have not dranken a lot of water or worked out, other people did all of that. I drank a diet coke and a bottle of water right before the ua. Can you please explain how it would be passable? In reading the other posts is appears that I may not pass. Is it the 500 cut off?

    500 certainly helps. Probably reduces clearance by a min. of 20%. I have no idea what other posts you are referring to. I never consider exercise although you're right most people think of running 10 miles. I consider quantity, time, gender and age. There are numerous examples of people passing at greater consumption in shorter periods. Most of the research is based on 100 ng cutoff and you should pass even at that. If you don't pass at a 72 hour interval it would be very exceptional.

    But you are calculating from last drink, I thought you calculated from BAC=0, so that would be less...

    There is no way of determining your BAC. I am measuring the grams of pure alcohol consumed.

    Okay, thank you so much for your help, I know I must be more than a pain for the day.

    And if it was more than 6 drinks? 6 drinks is approximate could have been closer to 7 or 8, would that change things?

    Yes that would certainly change things. Then you are in a danger zone.

    Amount of alcohol consumed cannot be determined from quantity of EtG.
