I'm 5'2 145lbs female. I drank 3 drinks/shots of hennessy between 10pm Friday and 130am early Saturday morning. I'm assuming my bac was at zero around 9am Saturday morning at the latest. I'm not a heavy drinker but can handle liquor well and have not drank prior to that in 2 weeks. Took an EtG test Monday at 9pm. Will I pass?

Based on Hennessy, 80 proof and shot no greater than 1.5 fl oz. = 3 stanard drinks (US):

Ethanol elimination* should have been no more than 4 hours (.015 ph) or 5:30 am. Assuming you slept after completion of drinking, let's accept your 9 am time span.

That allows 48 hours (min) elimination for EtG after 0-BAC.

Would think you are clear based on information provided with reliance on Wojcik/Hawthorne (http://alcalc.oxfordjournals.org/content/42/4/317.abstract?etoc).


This information is based on average elimination times for EtOH and EtG each dependent on averages for metabolism.

*Female, under 30 yrs, healthy and no cross-reacting medication.

I got my results and I PASSED. Thank you.
