Hi, I drank no more than 10 beers stopping around Tuesday morning at 3 am. I have to take an EtG test on Thursday around 7 pm. What are the chances of me passing and are there any methods of how I can pass? I'm about 5'8 inches and about 135 pounds. I exercise regularly. Please help

From the time of last drink until test is about 64 hours? If so, it is likely that you will pass but not guaranteed. You are still within a danger zone but at the far end.

Okay thank you, will drinking a lot I water and working out have any effect?

There are two primary systems involved in EtG and elimination. Your liver and kidneys. Exercise may have some indirect benefit but food enhances blood flow to the liver directly. (1)
It is well recognized and widely published that consumption of liquids greatly accelerates EtG elimination. (2)

So basically I should just eat and drink a lot?
