Would need to know your gender, age, height and weight. What time did you stop drinking on Thurs and how much did you drink on that day?
How many hours from last drink until time of test.

Even at that rate of consumption you should be EtG clear at that time span. EtG doesn't survive that long in system.

It is dependent on the amount of alcohol consumed and your personal metabolism. Small amounts of alcohol 1-4 drinks have pretty good research base: 1 drink = 13-21 hours; 2 drinks = 18-31 hours; 3 drinks = 27-42 hours; 4 drinks = <48 hours. All of those are averages based on small group studies. Larger amounts are less precise and can vary widely from one individual to another.
The below study is one of the better summaries for the test.
