I had one mix shot one night and I was called in the next day for a random drug and EtG test for my company will I fail? I had plenty of water after the shot and urinated frequently. I also drank about 40 ounces of water before the test. I a female I weigh 140 and I'm 5"5

I would seriously worry about failing for a diluted sample. People who drink excessive water will normally fail for that.

The first instinct is to drink a lot of water to hide what you drank. It's a panic move and often backfires. One mixed drank probably doesn't take you above the allowable level for failure.

I hope you still pass, but the lesson to learn is NEVER try to hide what you have done, or cheat the system. That's worse than failing outright in most cases. Mostly a fail only triggers a confirmation test, so you went through all of those those mind games and cheating for nothing in the first place.

Read your own handbook which covers these things, since you knew the job can randomly test you and has informed you of the policy and procedure they employ. They also probably tell you what the acceptable level is to pass a test also. Then you can act accordingly, and not cheat because you PANICKED.
