I am 29/male 5'11" 175lbs . Drank approx 12 beers (4.2%), 3 glasses champagne, 3 shots at a wedding Friday. Ate lots of food during that time and drank water also. Started drinking Friday around 2:30 PM - 1:30AM Sat. Had ETG test 2:45 Tuesday afternoon. Leaving approx 84hrs from last drink, about 67hrs from BAC to 0 (If I figured correctly). Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday until test, I drank tons of water, green-tea, vegetable juice, energy drinks; did a complete body cleanse; took multivitamins; antioxidants; ate healthy foods like salads, vegetables, and anything to speed I could to cleanse and speed up metabolism. I also exercised regularly and sweated a lot, slept regularly. It was my first time drinking in a while. Was WELL hydrated for test. Drank about 1 1/2 gallons of fluid daily until test. What is your insight besides I shouldn't have drank?

You might have passed the test before you did all of that... now you have a seriously high risk for failing for dilution.

It's a guessing game. No one can say for sure if you'll pass or fail.

As Smoothy said, because of the fluid intake, you may well fail for dilution.

The only data we have to go by is what the experts in this field have produced. It's a mixed bag. Some experts say 60 hours, others say 80 hours, even more others say 5 days. Drinking excessive amounts of water is a fail for dilution. Those that test are on to that trick.

You're over 80 hours, so you should pass, but you did drink excessive fluids, so it's very possible you'll fail for dilution (trying to fool the system).

We really can't tell you what the results will be. I've seen people that passed 18 hours after drinking excessively, with no dilution. I've seen people that failed 5 days after drinking with no dilution. It's all about you, the test, and to a great extent, fate.

I know you don't want to talk about your drinking, but it is a main part of your post. What do you stand to lose if you fail? Do you need help dealing with your drinking? Is that an issue? If so, we can offer support for that.

Sounds like an awful lot of crap to go through just for one night of drinking. Hardly sounds worth the trouble to me.
