I'm a female, 115 pounds, I drank on valentines day (yesterday). 2 cups of champagne and about 1 beer. I stopped drinking before midnight and I have an ETG test for alcohol tomorrow by 5 PM. Do you think drinking a detox drink will help (effective last time and they don't test for low levels of kreotine etc) or should I just chug water all day? PLEASE let me know!

It is my suspicion that the only benefit in detox products is the fluid content. Leastwise in relation to EtG. I've never investigated any of the detox drinks.

Your time from last drink to test is about 42 hours. EtG clearance time varies but ranges from 25-48 hours based on 3-4 drinks. Could come down to cutoff. At 500 cutoff (as opposed to 100) you will probably be clear.

Please let us know the results

NOTICE: Any person or entity that is subjected to or relies on EtG testing should read this Advisory issued by US Department of Health and Human Services, September 2006 (http://kap.samhsa.gov/products/manuals/advisory/pdfs/0609_biomarkers.pdf) and in effect as of date of this posting.

I drank 12 beers on a Monday and 12 beers on a Tuesday. I stopped drinking about 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday night. Will I pass an ETG drug test on Saturday morning at around 10:00 am?

Dr. Bill I drank 2 12oz beers Saturday between 10pm and midnight. I have to take an EtG test by 8pm Monday. So about 40 hours later. It's for probation so the cutoff is pretty low probably 100ng? I'm 5'11 male 130. Will I pass? Any input is greatly appreciated.

In all likelihood you will. The clearance time for EtG following 2 standard drinks (US) is under 40 hours (range 22-35) based on 100 ng/mL cutoff.

Alcohol metabolism and EtG synthesis varies widely between individuals and within the same individual at different times.

Please let us know your results.

Update: So I didn't have to take the test. It was delayed until 8pm Wednesday. So by the time I took it, it had been well over 80 hours(approx 92). I made the mistake of not drinking any water all day before I took the test. When I did the urine was pretty concentrated. Should I be concerned?

The EtG from 2 beers had been eliminated within the time span provided above. Urine concentration is important but only if there is EtG is present.

I passed thank you for the help.

Unfortunately, I drank again last weekend and am facing the same dilemma.I would greatly appreciate some help. I drank 2 beers and a vodka rebull starting at 10pm. My last beer was at 1am. I took an EtG test at 5pm Tuesday, from my calculations it was roughly 60 hours after BAC=0. The testing cutoff is 500ng. I drank on an empty stomach I'm not sure what affect if any that would have. I'm 22 male 5'11 125lbs with a pretty fast metabolism. Do you think I have a good chance of passing?

EtG clearance should be under 48 hours.

Keep us posted. What is your age?
