Umm... hard to say, you may not pass, but there's a very small chance you might.

It's supposed to detect up to 80 hours post, but there are some studies that show that the test looses it's effectiveness after 24 hours.

So I guess it depends on how lucky you are.

Would working out or drinking a ton of water make any difference?

No it would not. The test measures a metabolite of the alcohol, so once it's metabolized there isn't anything that can be done to really wash it away. Also, drinking a ton of water can give you water poisoning.

Thank you for your help
