    Miztery, what is your understanding of the UA test? Do you know anyone who drank on a Friday and passed by Monday?

    My experience was someone who had 94 hours and passed. The rest is just reading about people. Sorry.

    I'm not sure yet, John. As of Monday, the tests were not back. Is your test back?

    I should know by next week. I moved my appointment with my officer. Im on pins and needles though. Does anyone know the average timeframe for getting the results of the test back?

    They must have lost it or mishandled it. How can it take this long?

    I'm sure you passed. They never tell me if I pass, only if I fail. They don't need to tell you if you pass because they don't know your freaking out lol. I hope you did. I'm almost very similar story. Idk if I get an EtG test tomorrow or a reg drug test but the stress is there. I'm fine with the drug test but the EtG I'm around 60 hrs clean. Drank around 4-5 beers for a week straight. I did tons of walking hiking so I should be fine Half life is avg 3 hours

    It would be a big help if you would update your original post.

    That helps others in the future, and particularly those that use or are considering use of this test.

    Thanks.

    I found out this morning that I did in fact pass the test. Thank God. Sorry I couldn't say sooner, obviously I needed the results first. Thanks again for all the helpful advice. Take care.

    Thank you for reporting your results. I reviewed your preceding comments and see that this caused you a great deal of worry and concern.

    While the test failed, as it frequently does, that nonetheless provides you with an opportunity to re-evaluate the behavior that brought you the point of being tested to begin with.

    The test is hopelessly flawed. Many of those that promote it are misguided and it is widely misused and misinterpreted.

    In this instance, that allowed you to avoid detection. I have no idea if you even have a problem with alcohol but, if so, hope you find a way to turn this to your positive advantage.

    Thanks again for following through.

    If I had 2 beers Friday one Saturday and one Sunday will I pass an EtG alcohol test today?

    EtG is cumulative so it is only most recent use that is of consequence. You will be entirely clear of EtG at that time span.

    Hey dr bill I have to take a EtG test at 4:30 today and on Friday I had about 9 beers and five normal size drinks. I predicted that I would have a bac of 0 at about 2 or 3 o'clock on sat. Friday I worked out pretty hard before we went to the bbq and drank. I took it easy on saturday(just drank water) Sunday I did 8.5 miles on the bike and lifted while drinking about a gallon and a half of water. Monday drank water all day and ran 4 miles. Tuesday, which is today I have to take the test by 4:30. Forgot to add that the weekend of June 29th through the 1st I drank, but did not drink all week up until Friday at 5pm and stopped around midnight. By what I described in drinking all the water(which I drink about a little less than a gallon a day anyways) and excersise do you think I will pass the test at 4:30? I am male about 165 and height 5'9. Thank you

    I calculated about 86 hours from last drink until test. Does that sound right?

    Even after heavy drinking the test seldom detects EtG longer than 78 hours. You should be OK at that time interval.

    Yes dr bill that sounds right, give or take a half to one hour or so. I really appreciate your thoughts on this matter and do not plan on putting myself through this again. You're the best and take care
