Hello, I'm in alcohol treatment. I had one Heiniken beer with ice on Sunday morning
(5/8), no later than 2 am. which was 6 1/2 days ago. I was tested this past Saturday, assuming it was the ETG test. Are there any chances I could fail this test?

Thanks

There will be no EtG remaining from the Heineken at that time interval.

Thanks, DrBill100. Would the CDT test show that drink within the 3-week window?

Better clarify that for me.

DrBill100, I guess the last post doesn't matter now. I remembered the lab, Sterling in Washington state. Their site says immunossay screen with 500 ng/ml cutoff. At that level, I should have nothing to worry about, right? Even if 1 beer was drank?

It's been 3 business days and I haven't heard anything, assuming I would get a call if it was bad.

The one beer at that time won't show up at any cut-off.
