I am a 24 year old male, 5'8", weighing about 153 lbs. Within a period of about five hours I have had a total of six 12 oz. beers having a content of 6.5% ABV. It is likely that I will be given an ETG urine lab-test (I think at a 500 cutoff) after 130 hours of finishing my last beer. Will I be able to pass? If my chances aren't great, what kind of precautionary measures could I take to help my chances of passing (i.e. ways to increase my metabolism, etc... ) Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

We cannot and will not give you information to help you 'cheat' on an ETG test.

At 130 hours, you should be past the detection time, however, test results can vary.

I suggest if drinking is going to put your freedom or life in jeopardy that you refrain. It is the only proven way to pass a test. Any of the 'tricks' can actually end up causing you to fail even if you would have passed.

I notice that you have changed the amount of time between drinking and testing. Has your test been moved up? Are you looking for the minimum you can drink and it not be detected by asking the question over and over with different times?

I changed it because I was originally mistaken about the date I might be tested. I acknowledge I've made a poor decision. I wish I hadn't. I'm just looking for the most reliable, realistic opinion I can find.

The reason for asking is because some people try to get information for what they can get away with in the future.

Most information I have read says the time period the tests look at is 80 hours. You should be okay if you don't panic and try some of the tricks that end up diluting the specimen.

Good luck.
