I drank 3 beers on a Wednesday stopping around 2400-0100. Took a surprise urine ETG at 1300 on Saturday. I am 5'7" and 125lbs. Will I pass? It seems to be no one posts if they did pass or not so I will be sure to post the result.

Allowing 8 hrs to 0-BAC that leaves 52 hr elimination time for EtG/EtS. Elimination time should be in the range of <24-40 hr if the test uses a 100ng cutoff and substantially less at 500ng (now recommended (http://http://etg.weebly.com/index.html)).

Here is a graph of comparative elimination of EtOH, EtG/EtS (http://http://www.clinchem.org/cgi/reprint/50/5/936.pdf). Note the large time difference between 500 and 100 on time scale. Using either cutoff you should be safe.

Always appreciate hearing the results. Thanks.

So if an 150 lb. male had 1 drink and took an ETG test 60-65 hours later, should he pass? Assume the 100 cutoff because it's for a court program. Also, how long do they usually take to get the results? The test was on a Thursday.

There should be no EtG remaining in system from 1 drink 60 hours earlier.

The test is usually performed within 24 hours but feeding results back through a bureaucratic system is the problem and makes it unknown. Probably within a week.

Did you pass your ETG test, nur0885?

Do you know if anyone has recently passed in this situation? No one seems to post whether they actually passed.

Just got back from probation meeting. I passed the test!

That's awesome! So it was 60 hours after 3 beers. How come it took so long to find out? Just curious.
