At 60+ hours it is very unlikely that there would still be EtG present from 4 drinks. Detection at 80 hours is rare and usually applies to extreme cases.

The test is highly sensitive but unreliable as it detects low levels of EtG that can result from incidental exposure. It is recommended that EtG not be relied upon as a sole method for determining alcohol consumption. Per SAMHSA (http://kap.samhsa.gov/products/manuals/advisory/pdfs/0609_biomarkers.pdf) and other authorities.
