.I had nine Bud lights 12oz. 4.25% on Monday night starting at 9 PM and ending Tuesday 1 AM. = 4 hours. Which I have done many times before and pass my sober link breathalyzer at 10:30 AM. It continued to violate me for the next three hours. I figured out that I had mosquito spray let loose on the breathalyzer.The Company that issues the breathalyzer told me to come in for a equipment check. On the way there I stopped at the police station at approximately 1 PM Tuesday and I blew 000. Then I screwed up again missing my 5:00 PM and my 9:00 PM test on the breathalyzer on Thursday. I then emptied my bladder Friday morning approximately at 7 AM then went to the clinic to be tested for a ETG at 8:15 AM.So in conclusion I estimated 79 hours from last drink and 66 hours since I blew 000. I am a 59-year-old man weighing 195 pounds. I am on medication Lipitor and aspirin and also Vicodin for my neck injury right now.During all this time I drink approximately 2 gallons of water and I half-dozen Gatorade and power drinks similar to Gatorade. I avoid products such as mouthwash, cleaners and other sources of alcohol. My question is how will my ETG test come back. Please respond! I am having a heart attack over this whole situation. Ps. I had a dirty ETG test by drinking a six pack approximate Two days later. If this helps you figure out anything. I have been going through this BS for over three years.

You will find out when the lab results come back. Its apparent failing isn't really that important to you or you would have abstained from drinking, since you keep doing it anyway by your own admission. You NEED to address your alcohol addiction because abstaining is easy for anyone what doesn't have alcoholism. Maybe failing it will force you to confront the problem and take it seriously. Help is out there but it only works if you take it seriously and admit to yourself you have a problem and want to change things.
And yeah, 9 beers in 4 hours is heavy drinking. Its clear you have a history of heavy drinking. And heavy drinkers have liver damage that takes them significantly longer to process everything than the average non-alcoholic.

Sorry, but I cannot add much to the previous poster other than the lab results will be what they will be given your SERIOUS issues and many other factors.
Hope for the best, plan for the worst, and please, CHANGE your approach to these very important tests. Your heart (And kidneys!) will love you for it.

"BS for 3 years". And whose problem is this? " Im having a heart attack over this". And whose problem is this? Face the facts. You have an alcohol addiction and need help.
