    The limited amount of testing performed on small amounts of alcohol and EtG indicates 1 beer clearing in about 18 hours.*

    However, the variation in metabolism from one individual to another as well as interindivdual variance in EtG production disallows any generalization of those results.

    EtG cannot be predicted anywhere near that level of precision.

    The smaller the amount... the greater the chance it will be eliminated. Smaller amounts of alcohol have more test results, to demonstrate that incidental exposure will not register at 24 hours.(1, 2)

    All of the test data shows that you will not have EtG at 22 hours from very low intake. Probably if EtG was present it would not rise to the level of detection (cutoff), and that's particularly true if the cutoff is 500 ng. Following the test data EtG should have been eliminated within 7-12 hours (1).

    My point is that the test is erratic as commercially used... the research is sparse and these time lines are known to vary from one individual to another.

    As example, the promotional literature states that even small amounts of alcohol can be detected for 120 hours (Wurst, 2002; Skipper, 2004) while another body of evidence (noted below) states that small amounts are detectable for a period of only 5-21 hours. Every elimination test, to date, ever conducted has found wide "interindividual and intraindividual variation" in EtG measured.

    The data is conflicting and disallows prediction except in a broad range. But to date, a single full drink (13.7 g) has not been detected for more than 20.6 hours. So you should be safe.

    Please confirm after obtaining the results.

    Thanks for reporting your results.

    Would you know the cutoff of the test?

    Dr. Bill.
    I drank one beer, a corona extra to be exact. And had a EtG test in the lab 12 hours later. What do you think the results will be? I drank a lot of water, and orange juice two hours prior to the testing and I'm almost positive my test was diltuded. My urine was crystal clear. Can you still detect alcohol in diltution?
