Dear Dr. Bill,
I'm worried about being tested for EtG tomorrow. I had 12 beers over a 12 hour period, drinking about one per hour. When I have my test, it will have been 60 hours since my last drink. I'm female, 148 lb, 5'8", though I'm not sure if that matters. I'm in an outpatient program and I'm supposed to be abstinent. I have no idea what EtG cutoff they'll use. Though I slipped up the other day and made a terrible decision, I'm going to remain abstinent for the duration of my program. I realize now how critical it is that I take my program seriously and follow the rules. I just wish I'd had this revelation sooner. I'm so afraid that it's too late.
I am planning to drink a lot of water a few hours before the test and take creatine as well as test my creatine level with MediStrips or something similar. What do you think of my chances of passing the test without the water loading? Also, would I have to drink water only, or would tea or broth have the same diluting effect?
One last thing, I take adderrall, lexapro, and neurontin by prescription. Would those effect my metabolism?
Thank you for you help.
