I stopped drinking Thursday night around 12... had maybe 7 beers... I know for a fact my bac was zero at 8 am Friday am... I will have an ETG on Wednesday at 8am... I did have three O'Douls during the weekend... but that is it... I have drank a decent amount of water... just wonderiing if I am in the safe zone? If you are out their Dr Bill, your opinion would be appreciated

With a 5 day interval there will be no EtG/EtS in system from the drinking noted.

You are never safe when subjected to EtG testing. High false positive rate for screens, always a danger of incidental exposure.

Also avoid the O'Douls within 24 hours of test time.

Hi,
Thanks again for your opinion... the Odouls was consumed on Sat and Sunday... so well before the test date... 2 on sat and 1 on Sunday... I am assuming of no significance. I realize this is a guess because EtG production is dufferent for each individual. How many hours do you think it took my EtG to go to zero given my bac was zero on Friday am?

Also, do most of the studies use bac at zero or time a person stops drinking? That would seem that would alter the 80 hour claim... or do they go back to when a person starts drinking? Many labs "80 hours from ingestion" which seems vague.. it sounds that actually from bac at zero the detection time is more like 40-60 hours

Your Thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
