View Full Version : EtG alcohol testing levels

I am being monitored for alcohol, presumably using the EtG test I have read about.

I ordered a non-alcoholic fruit drink at a comedy club Saturday night (night before last), but the waiter got mixed up and gave me one with alcohol.

I took a pretty small sip and noticed the alcohol immediately. That's all I drank.

I was tested today, the next Monday.

I'm worried and really don't want to wait up to a week or more to assume nothing was found.

Do I have anything to worry about, or should my EtG level fall below the detection limit or cutoff?

Thanks!

If all you drank was a sip as you said... you should pass it.

Yeah, all I drank was a sip, and it wasn't a gulp either. It was more than a taste though. So... small to medium sized sip :)

Smoothy, thanks for your response. But I guess I really need to be reassured. I am new though and am not sure how to interpret this, but it sure seems like you have an excellent reputation, but I still manage to worry - I mean, it seems like you are mainly a computer expert. Do you really feel confident about this ? Thanks again.Anybody else viewing this, please chip in.Thanks!

Your amount keeps changing...a "pretty small sip" became a "small to medium sized sip" with a smile after it....does the smile indicate that maybe you had more than a sip but you don't want to admit it?

If you can't be straight with us, you're not going to get an accurate answer.

If it really was a sip, then you'll be ok. If you're lying to cover yourself for some reason here, there is no way for us to give you an answer.

No. No intended change. I was just trying to describe the sip with the accuracy my recollection allows, and I wasn't concerned with trying to be consistent like I had something to hide. Anyway, pretty small might be small to medium, right? I don't know. And the smile indicates only the difficulty of making such estimates, I think. I have nothing to gain by fooling myself or anyone else and

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my question! I feel so much better, even if it was more like a small/medium sip :-) Whew!
