I am being testing for probation and have recently found that all of my tests have been negative, although I knew that I had been drinking. My most recent test came back positive and I had drank the day before. At first I thought they were not using ETG but something less conclusive. Today I am being tested and my last drink was about 44 hours ago. I had about 6-7 glasses of wine. My PO seems to think that I metabolize alcohol quickly since I have been negative in the past. (I was honest with her about my drinking). Is it possible that I may pass today? I just want to be prepared. P.S. I am looking into treatment for my problem, as I know that I need help. I am female, 5"4 107 lbs. I don't drink a lot of water, nor do I eat much, but I so take B complex twice a day, if this help. Thanks for your response.

On the occasions when you were negative after drinking about how much had you consumed and how long before the test?

EtG clearance after 6-7 drinks usually requires about 60-72 hours.

NOTICE: Any person or entity that is subjected to or relies on EtG testing should read this Advisory issued by the US Department of Health and Human Services, September 2006 (http://kap.samhsa.gov/products/manuals/advisory/pdfs/0609_biomarkers.pdf) and remains in effect as of date of this posting.

On one occasion I had my last drink at about 7pm on a Monday and tested on Wednesday at about 4PM. Maybe I was just lucky. Other times I know it was 3-4 days in between. But that one occasion I just don't know. Is there a thread on here that answers legal questions?
