I drank 12 miller lites from 5pm Friday into Saturday with my last beer between 1230-1am.
Then on Saturday night I had about a shot of vodka at about 11pm.

I have an EtG test tomorrow (Tuesday July 17th) at 930am which will be about 80 hours from drinking the 12 beers, and about 58 hours or so from the shot of vodka.
I am a 26 year old male, 5'8, weighing 135 lbs.

Do you think I can pass?

That is about 10 standard drinks on Friday leaving about 80 clearance time for EtG. One shot of vodka following day is of no additional concern.

In all likelihood you will pass as the test seldom detects even long term heavy drinking at 80 hours. However, there are reports of detection up to 100 hours but those are all from detox unit studies that are unrepresentative.

My personal experience is that I have never had a case or personal report of someone failing at 80 hours. There is no way of being certain because there are no timed dose controlled studies at that level of consumption

Thank you Dr Bill, always appreciate your responses!
