I'm 32 165lbs I drink about 8 shots of tequila every night. Can u tell me what amount of time should safely pass as to when I would be considered negative or passing.. I can't seem to get that info anywhere else.it world be greatly appreciated because I know I drink a lot and I can cut back if I have to but it would put my mind at ease to relatively know for sure

Why are you drinking if you are subject to testing? What do you have to lose if you fail a test... and if passing is important why haven't you STOPPED drinking.

If you are drink 8 every night... you aren't even going to pass a job prescreening test, much less a court orderd one.

And about Dr Bill, he no longer posts here, and hasn't for some time.

Well thank you fur your concern I know that I should stop drinking but it's tough.I don't goo out to bars or drive I have a few cocktails in the privacy of my own home then go to bed.I know what is wrong with me but the question I asked was fir advice.. If you don't have any to give than why are you so concerned I'm married with 2 small children and test them an my wife with the utmost respect.so my drinking is easy do when I'm alone and it hurts no-one but me

You drink tequila, about 8 shots every night. You have a problem.

You're asking how much you can drink, and when, to pass a test.

We don't help alcoholics pass ETG tests on this site. We won't tell you how much you can drink, and how many days you need to stop drinking to pass.

We can help you deal with an addiction you obviously have. If you want that help, we'll offer it. But cheating a test, that's not going to happen. Not here.

I'm married with 2 small children and test them an my wife with the utmost respect.

How drunk are you right now? You test your 2 small children, and your wife, with the utmost respect? You test them? Test them for what, your alcoholism? It's not contagious! It's your disease, and only yours. You won't pass it down to your small children if you change your ways.

Sorry spell check wasn't working what it meant to say was GREAT then and my wife with the utmost respect.. commenting on how a person is as a parent when u don't know then is despicable.. I know have a problem but that had never and will NEVER interfere with my family

Still not right... last try TREAT . That's the doors guess I'm just sooooo drunk

Ha

Can you answer what type of testing you are subject to and why? People that aren't tested don't worry about passing them.

Look I was looking for advice and didn't mean to offend anyone.I'm not ready to stop drinking but oily wanted to get the point across that my drinking only affects me that's it and I understand your point of view of not enabling

I wish I could stop but in my heart I'm just not ready I'm sure that day will come and come soon but fur right now I'm good but thank you fur the concern... and I use Swype that's why some of my words are mixed up I'm not even drinking

The bottom line is that we are not allowed to tell you how long you have to go without drinking to pass a test. If you are subjected to testing, there is a reason for it and helping you to pass it would be helping you to cheat...this is against the site rules.

I wanted to address this too....you said that you have "a few cocktails" every night yet in your question you said you drink 8 shots of tequila every night. 8 shots is not a few cocktails. I don't like passing judgement on people but given what I am reading, you do need some sort of help. You say you can cut back if you have to, yet you are not doing so even though you are subjected to testing...you do need help.

In post #7 you state that you are "sooooo drunk," yet in post #11 you state that you are not drinking. Therefore, this thread has been closed as it is apparent that you are trolling the boards for attention.
