No Eddie it will not. The ethanol in your system will have long since been eliminated.

If a EtG was involved, would my test be positive

Eddie, my friend. With only one drink and two questions you managed to challenge the limits of scientific knowledge.
In direct response to your second question, and I apologize for the delay, it is unlikely that one drink would be detected by EtG testing at the time interval noted. I place primary reliance on the study of Wojcik & Hawthorne (2007) (http://alcalc.oxfordjournals.org/content/42/4/317.full#T1).
But the one drink, low alcohol intake question, highlights an interesting paradox in EtG testing that I will address shortly in the event you are interested in a more detailed response.
Thanks for your question.

You can eliminate all the worrying and stress by not drinking.
If you're not suppose to be drinking.
That's a lot of stress you put yourself through for
One drink.
I hope it was exceptionally good.
