I drank 2 glasses of red wine on Tuesday at around 5 p.m. / I am a male of 24 weighing about 130 lbs... After drinking the wine I had a couple full glasses of water along with a Hamburger and some fries and again more water. I had an ETG test today (Thursday) at about 8 a.m. What are my chances of passing this test?

What happens when you FAIL ?

So that is 39 hours after you stopped drinking that you tested? Or did you start drinking the wine at 5pm and finish even later? Were your "glasses" standard 5oz. servings or more generous?
Your odds are not good, but that doesn't mean you won't pass. Even on the conservative end, if your drinks were only 4-5 ozs. And you had a full 39 hours from when you stopped until when you tested, I would guess that a fail is more likely than a pass.
If the drinks were larger and/or the time between your last drink and the test was shorter, the odds would decrease. A day and a half (approximately what you report) is very little time for the body to rid its self of ETG. What is the testing for? Pre-employment, probation, etc. the level tested for and considered a fail will vary.
