I had 1 beer and 3 drinks 41 hours before my EtG test. I am a 24 year old male and weigh 350 pounds. Do I have a chance to pass?

In general alcohol metabolizes at "about" one drink per hour - even if it takes your body two hours per drink you should be okay.

Have you learned anything from this experience?

Even with the EtG test? I have read other stories of it taking 80 hours no matter how much you drank? I rarely ever drink and just had a slip up and then had a random urine test today which they sent off to the lab so I assume it was an EtG test

My understanding is approximately 60 hours from drink to clear. However, there is really nothing you can do about it now that the sample has been sent off.

What do you stand to lose if it comes back positive.

I'm on misdemeanor probation for a non alcohol related offense. I've been a model citizen as far as keeping up with my payments and doing community service. But I don't know what the punishment would be...

Model citizens don't drink when they are told not to - that's the problem here.

The best you can do if you fail is be apologetic and offer apologies to the Court - I don't think they'll think this is model behavior. They will understand that everyone slips up at one time or another.
