Looking for anyone with experience in EtG testing! I took an EtG test 63 hours after drinking one Mikes Hard Lemonaide and would like to know if I should be really worried or not right now!
Thanks for your help!

Mike's is a malt drink, 5% abv. For one, EtG clearance would be under 24 hours.

Even the 16oz 8% alcohol by volume Mike's? Thanks so much for responding! This EtG thing is so confusing, when you hear things like 80 hours!

Carrie,

Public information on this test is indeed confusing and, more importantly, misleading.

"Up to 80 hours" has become an advertising slogan. The idea is promoted by the commercial testing industry without offering the qualification that EtG is created and eliminated in proportion to the amount of alcohol consumed.

A 2007 study does a very good job of addressing these issues. Go to the link below and I believe it will ease your concerns.
