Hi, I am a 23 male and I had 4 beers Friday night, Sunday I went for a bike ride and Monday I worked out pretty hard... do you think by Monday at about 630 I would be able to pass a EtG test?

It takes approximately 60 hours after the last drink to pass.

So there is no way of passing?

No way of doing it legally. At AMHD we will not help you to pass illegally.

However, most jobs understand that people drink when not on the clock, what they don't tolerate is illicit drugs.

I think you have a strong chance of passing this. It's for a job and probably won't be as close as it would if it was for probation. I wouldn't sweat it.

That is well over 60 hours. More like 68. Sounds familiar.

That makes no sense. It depends on the cutoff level, not what the test is for.

"lose", not "loose" is what I believe you meant.

Right, right... and for a job, the cutoff level is probably not going to be the same as it would be for probation... therefore, he has a better chance of passing. Before you try to discredit what I say because you're upset with me, at least think about it to be sure you're not making a mistake that makes you simply look vindictive.

Thank you for your correction. However, I don't have anything to lose due to addiction as you do. Spelling is the least of my worries.
