I had one shot the night before I had an EtG. I took my shot around 8pm, test around 5pm. Any suggestions for plausible deniability if not?

Yes and no.

When most people are tested for EtG/EtS, they're under a sobriety order. Which means NO alcohol at all. This includes drinks, food (White wine sauce, rum balls, Home made Burbon BBQ sauce), health and beauty products (Hand sanitizers, rubbing alcohol, hair products, et al.), and ANYTHING that may contain alcohol. It is in the contract you signed, be it probation, child custody, employment or rehab. You signed the agreement so there is no recourse for "Plausible Deniability" here. You signed a contract that said you wouldn't consume or use products that contained alcohol. You did.

One shot probably won't last long, but 18 hours is a REALLY short time frame. Chances are you will probably fail. Sorry.

Good response, shame it cannot become a "Sticky"
