9 1/2 days ago me and cousin drank 3 pitchers of beer and each had 2 rum and cokes as well and a glass of wine. ETG test today. What are my chances?

EtG from alcohol consumed 9 days ago is long gone.

Thanks for the answer. Gave that exit UA on that Tuesday. The counselor stated that I have completed my treatment. Now its just up to the lab and the UA result to then file my case complete. As mentioned earlier had a drinking session about 9 and a half days ago before UA was given... Now a week later still haven't heard from the Treatment Facility about my result. Still haven't received the completion letter. And its making me think. Does this mean that my UA could have came back possitive?

EtG tests are notorious for false positives. If your test turns out to be low level positive it was not as a result of alcohol consumed 9 days previous.

Government agencies and court programs have been warned repeatedly that the test is unreliable. Quoting from the Advisory issued by National Institutes of Health:

"Currently, the use of an EtG test in determining abstinence lacks sufficient proven specificity for use as primary or sole evidence that an individual prohibited from drinking, in a criminal justice or a regulatory compliance context, has truly been drinking.”

See also recent advisory from Skipper, etal, here (http://etg.weebly.com/).

However, a more likely explanation is administrative delay.

I ended up calling the facility and verify. Test came back negative. Thanks for your insight Dr. Bill.
