23 hours....not likely. You might get lucky but odds are against you.

I agree... chances are very slim. If you are subject to random testing, why are you drinking. Perhaps its time to get involved with AA.

I disagree. Studies done, as per the link below, show that MOST people will test negative at 24 hours after 2-3 drinks.

Which is good is she is part of that most category, or one of the participants in that study. She's not. At 23 hours, probably a little less to be honest, there is no way to know if all the ETG has cleared her system. There is a good chance that it hasn't.
