I drank 2 8% beers at 3:00 on Monday, I am 5'9 male, about 150 lbs, 29 years old, fairly active and drink good amount of water. How long do think EtG could be detected in urine? Any help appreciated. Thanks
They were 16 oz beers

I had a test this morning before the drinks, and I don't need a lecture, I already feel the guilt and know that abstaining is the best but I would assume at least 3-4 days Til next test, at least

Nice attitude....Who's lecturing?
60-80 hours is the generally accepted thought on this. Could be more, could be less.

Just saying... Thanks for the help, much appreciated
So if I wasn't tested again for 3 days minimum, you think I would be OK? I know nothing is certain and no one can be sure, but what would be your opinion?

Three days after you consumed alcohol, or three days from now?
If it's 3 days since you consumed alcohol, there's a chance of failure. The majority of experts agree with the 60-80 hour protocol to pass an ETG, others say it's closer to 5 days.
If it is 60-80 hours, at 3 days you'd be right in the middle of that. So it really would depend on your body, your metabolism, which we can't guess at even with information of your height, age, weight etc.
In other words, we can't even give you an educated guess.
My opinion. You'll either pass, or you'll fail. Sadly that's all anyone can tell you.

I just had a test this morning before the drinks and am on 4 random a month, so I am definitely gambling but am assuming that next won't be for a few dsys

Well, when you gamble you have to be prepared to lose, right? Gamblers rarely win.

So Monday afternoon I had 2 16 oz. 8% drinks, about a full normal 12 oz. beer (4-4.5%) and one shooter of 35 proof vodka in the span of about 2:30-6:30 pm. I am 5'9" 150 lbs. 29 years old, fairly active and well hydrated and have peed a ton in the last few days. I am ring tested tonight (Thursday) around 6:30 pm, so about 72 hours since last drink. Does anyone have an idea if I might pass? I have been working out and has been peeing a lot and drinking lots of fluids but not to the point of dilution. Any help appreciated.

Can't really say anything more than has been said here already.
I will lecture you though. You're being tested for Alcohol consumption. Which usually means that for one reason or another consuming alcohol could have a negative impact on your life. I also understand that alcohol is hard to stop cold turkey, or even luke warm pheasant, but it can be done. As well the allure of trying to get away with it will have some "high" with it too. The problem is that you'll eventually lose. If you don't drink than you won't lose.
Wait out your alcohol ban and then start drinking. If you don't do that you might fail and it will be all your fault and the results of which you'll need to accept as no one's fault but your own.
You should be fine. There is chance you will fail. A larger chance you will pass. Don't be an idiot. Stop drinking.

It's possible that you passed. It's also possible that you failed. I'm sorry, but there's no way to determine whether you'll pass. Only the test will tell.
What do you stand to lose if you fail?

Took 300 mg milk thistle a few hours before and I think the cutoff is 500. More curious than anything, anyone have experience or input?

I've also been peeing a ton the past few days

The answers are exactly the same as the last time.
When you were asked why you want to know, you said you were just curious.
If this is just for curiosity, why are you being tested so often?

Do you need professional help as you keep asking the same question over and over. Why?

Wow, no. Just wanted to see if anyone has had similar experience... I've gotten the you may you may not answer and was just wondering if anyone has gone through a similar experience. Sorry for asking

Last week you asked about passing after 2 drinks and now you're asking about passing after 5 drinks....clearly these are separate incidents.
Obviously you didn't learn after getting lucky with the 2 drinks so it seems as if you have a problem. If you keep taking chances and keep pushing it, eventually you will be caught and asking us will not solve your problem.

Its not the asking my friend, it's the starting new threads with the same question. If you want more answers how about some added input, like some background into your circumstance.
However you can always scroll down to similar threads, or check this forum for other questions, and answers. There are many. Hope this helps.

So you want someone to come along and say "I drank as much as you, I'm male too, I weigh the same as you, I'm the same age as you, I have the same metabolism as you, I took the exact same test as you, and I'm being tested for the exact same reason as you, and I passed". Is that what you want?
Here's the cold hard reality. You could find the person that is exactly like you, meets all your criteria, and even then their results won't be the same as yours. Why? You're different people!
If hearing about other people passing will make you feel better, talk to other people that are being tested like you are. But just because they passed, doesn't mean you will. That info really won't help you determine whether you'll pass or fail.

You are right, I am looking for some comfort after my dumb decision. I am on probation for a DWAI and was told I was not on EtG tests and drank (moderately) glass of wine with dinner or beer or two after work. And I faile two tests because I was told it was the poly test which only went back 14 hours (that is what I was told by my probation company) and come to find out I am on etg's and if I mess up I will get the ankle bracelet. I found this out on Monday after I had already had a few drinks( it was my first day off in 2 weeks) and I started ting my pants. So there is my story. I have learned my lesson the hard way and am not going to mess around at all. I can suffer for a few months and not party to be able to enjoy the rest of my life. Was just looking for some input. Thank you all who responded

Just so you know...I know from personal experience that this is not easy to quit...I did it though. Faced with what you are faced with, you should be able to quit easily. You don't want that bracelet. I worked with a guy that had one of them and trust me, you don't want it.

If you want similar experiences read back here a ways. There are many threads about people, such as yourself, making poor life decisions. Trying to get stories over and over by asking isn't going to do you a lot of good because it is mainly the experts here answering. Joe Blow isn't going to share his story here, if he's got a question he'll ask it.

Ive taken quite a few urine etgs and cut it closer then you more then once I've alyways been okay at the 60 hour mark but like they said everyone's different but its not worth the added stress to risk it... and I'm 5 7 175 so were similar in size... but its too late to worry about the last test you only have control over the next one.. good luck
