No, your body metabolizes alcohol pretty quickly.

You drank 8 oz of a beverage containing 40% alcohol (approx). A standard drink is 1.5 oz (liquor). Slightly over 5 drinks. Round to 6.

The alcohol (ethanol) in your system would be eliminated in 8 hours or possibly less. So that is of no concern.

The "80 hour test" however doesn't check for ethanol. Rather for the break-down products that metabolism leaves behind, ethylglucuronide (EtG) and/or ethylsulfate (EtS).

If you had your last drink at 4 pm Saturday that leaves 89.5 hrs to test. Subtracting the time for alcohol metabolism (8 hrs) that leaves 81.5 hrs for EtG/EtS elimination.

You should be clear based on the amount consumed and given the time interval involved.
