Hello, I had one properly measured once and a half bloody mary around 12:00 noon on Saturday and then one 12-ounce, light beer around 10:00 PM the same night. Since, I have not consumed any alcohol. I took a saliva EtG test this morning (Tuesday) at approximately 9:00 AM. What is the liklihood of a positive result? Thank you for your help!

Something will show up. Whatever the testing threshold is is anther question.

What do you mean by testing threshold? Sorry if that seems like a silly question... Thank you again for your help!

Meaning did the court order this because you are legally required to be completely abstinant... or is this a job screening test where you are allowed to drink occaisionally and they are just sorting out the drunks and addicts from the rest.

Different reasons for testing... different allowable results.

Okay, I understand. Thank you. Court ordered, completely clean. Not sure if there is any tolerance since it can show up from other things though... medicine, etc. Thanks for your help!

This test is not all that accurate, many false positives and false negatives. Its reported to be accurate up to 80 hours. It matter s little if it's a properly measure drink or luight beer, its alcohol either way.
