Hi all,
I have been reading a lot about this and have questions. Thank you most definitely to previous commenters. I have been in treatment for a few months but had two weeks off and went on a 9-day binge where I was drinking 3-4 bottles of wine daily during this time. I had my last drink this past Thursday night going into Friday (so yesterday) at 3:30am. I will have an EtG test most likely this coming Tuesday night at 7pm. That is about 111 hours between last drink and time of test, but I'm not entirely sure when my BAC would be 0. The 'clock' for an ETG test begins at the point of BAC=0, correct? I am a female, ~185 lbs, ~5'8". I'm drinking a lot of water, green tea for antixoxidants, gatorade, getting exercise. Taking milkweed for liver function.

Is there any chance I will pass with these other efforts?

thanks

Might want to look into a different program because this one apparently isn't cutting it with you. Just being serious... binge drinking is going to kill you at some point, or at least cause permanent damage. Its all a matter of when you get busted... not if. There is more than one way to fail a test and you are working hard to fail it in two different ways.

EtG tests usually boast a detection window up to 80 hours after consumption (or the last drink) however, I have never heard of or read of any testing that included someone drinking 15 - 20 drinks a day for 9 days straight, then being tested 111 or 112 hours later.

I'm guessing that you are in a category with little to no laboratory testing and I would venture to guess that the "standard" window may not apply in this case. Drinking too much water/tea/Gatorade will cause a fail for dilution, for sure. The liver can only process so much so fast, regardless of "detoxes" or milkweed.

I'm with smoothy on this, though, it sounds like you might want to consider a different treatment program & support group. Addiction is a killer. Alcohol is cunning, baffling, powerful and patient. I hope you find the answer before it is too late.
