Dr Bill I had an ETG test Monday at 4:30pm due to a custody dispute I seldom drink but had one glass of wine Saturday at 7pm with a meal. I drink plenty of water, exercise and am healthy do you expect I will pass the test given it was only slightly over 40 hours since the drink? I had not had any alcohol for weeks prior to this.

One drink usually has an EtG clearance time under 24 hours. You should be fine at 40 hours even at a 100 ng cutoff.

Dr. Bill thanks for all your responses even though they were not to my questions.
You have healed me couple times, as for me stress would have killed me if not the drink. While hanging out with friends and drinking Sprite, I accidentally had the wrong glass that had vodka and something else. I spitted the drink out moment I realized it was alcohol. I was surprise toxed 65 hrs after that with a cutoff of 100ng. Based on whatever I have read, I should be clean unless you have a different opnion{I am male/184/36). I did not injest any alcohol as I spit out the moment I realized I had wrong glass. Rinsed my mouth with water, walked out of bowling ally.
What I could not do was run away from the stress. Going to jail is not an option for me with everything at stake. I am glad there are advisors like you for free help.
I want to donate to your site as I can't put in words how much your site has really helped me.
Thank you for being here.
