On Sunday July 1 I had about 3 mikes hard lemonade and 3 shots. In a span of 3 hours. I slept it off until 4 in the afternoon. My question is I just took a EtG test this morning the 6 of July. I have a female 19 5'6 145lbs. Will I be okay? I have been freakig out so badly.

EtG created from that amount of alcohol* has never been detected above the 90 hour range. This applies to timed studies in lab setting.

*6 standard drinks (US)

So I should be fine? I never really drink as well. How much time needs to pass before mh bac level was down to 0?

Thanks so much for your response

You would eliminate alcohol at a slower rate than a regular or heavy drinker so let's just max out the time at 2 hours per drink, that is always safe. That leaves 100 hours from BAC=0.

Not even close to detection window for EtG/EtS.

Okay so I woke up at like 4 in the afternoon but stopped drinking at like 2 . I just hope everything turns out okay. Do you know how long it takes for the lab to process it and send it out?

I also drank a lot of water yesterday and green tea. I even took to gulps of viniger. If that helps at all?

Once again thanks so much

Do not drink vinegar. It often contains alcohol ranging from trace amounts to as high as 0.2%.

Green tea doesn't hurt but can say it helps. Consuming any liquid reduces EtG content and expedites clearance. (1) All of that is extraneous. Time and your natural metabolism has cleared the EtG.

Okay thanks! And what is ets? Does that go along with EtG? Does that mean that EtG and ets will both be out of my system?

EtS = ethyl sulfate. It is another metabolite of alcohol generated concurrently with EtG. Some labs test for it on confirmation only. It cannot be detected by any current immunoassay screen. It follows the same elimination time line as EtG so is of no particular concern or overall relevance.
