Drank 2 beers (fat tire) Saturday, tested for EtG Tuesday? Eh? Then following Friday drank about 6 of the same. Not sure when I will test again, soonest would be Monday? 145 lb, 5'10 female, 40ish, high metabolism. Active... What's your best educated turnout.

So you want to fail, right?

You must. You drank and apparently got away with it before so now you are testing the limits by continuing to push it until you fail.

Nobody can give you an real useful information here as to how far you can go and keep getting away with it. The best thing you can do is to hope you pass and quit drinking and taking chances.

Fat tire is a microbrew out of the States. Not bad but not my go to beer.

You could fail. It is hard to say, but I am curious as to why you're being tested? What are the consequences for failure? I know I won't get an answer because I am forcing you to evaluate your decisions, but when you read this take a moment to think if this is the wisest course of action.

Repeating unwise behavior will yield negative results. One who knows a test is possible shouldn't be drinking anything. Passing the test should be a priority since if its for employment then a job is at stake, and if on probation your freedom is at stake.

So half stepping will lead to failure. I hope you squeak by, but if not, learn what should have been obvious. Don't drink when you know you will be tested at anytime.

Honestly? Best guess is that you are in the States and Monday is a holiday, so chances are you won't be tested until Tuesday, at the earliest. This will bring about a huge sense of relief at having one more 24+ hours before actually being tested.

Chances are, as odinn eluded to, you will continue to drink and take chances until you either 1) test positive for EtG or 2) test diluted (because you did drink, get scared and drink an excessive amount of water to cover for it) and it is counted as a positive. At this point, you will either 1) get serious and stop drinking or 2) try even harder to game the testing system - the latter seems to be the more common approach.

In this particular episode, my best educated guess is that you will be tested on Tuesday (at the earliest) and will test negative. Just a guess, though.
