Hey Dr Bill I drank 2 mixed drinks on Saturday at 2pm I have a drug screening for probation on Tuesday at 9am.. will I pass?

"Drug screens" don't check for alcohol.

What if they do test me for alcohol than?

There will be no ethanol in your urine. Elimination time would be (on average) a maximum of 6 hours. That's assuming doubles in the two drinks (4 standard drinks).

Based on that same volume assumption (4 standard drinks) even if tested for EtG you would probably be clean if your timeline is accurate (about 60 hr).

You my time line is 60 hours since my last drink till I take the test... so the 80 hour thing I keep reeding doesn't apply to me Dr Bill?

The 80 hour test is more promotional propaganda than reality. You will note such commentary is prefaced by the qualifier "up to". EtG is dose dependent, that is the more you drink the higher the level of accumulation.

My estimates are averages obtained from an aggregation of studies. As relates to any given individual they can be wrong due to the wide variation of EtG production from person to person. On average, they are accurate.

So u think il pass sorry to keep bothering you sir

Unless you are a hyper-producer of EtG and so long as your systems, kidney and liver, are healthy. You should pass. You will note I doubled the amount you said you drank. So the moderate amount consumed should be cleared. Let me know.

Will do thank very much Dr Bill u are helping me sleep tonight and my metabolism is quik I'm only 140 5 11 male

Good. You had 2 drinks and how many hours of anxiety?

Wish you the best. Please make contact after the test. Thanks

I agree with Bill. Not that I do or do not condone it, but simply wanted to add that drinking water, eating protein, exercising, etc. would clinch it for sure but then realized that you have probably just taken your test this morning. Do come back and let us know the good news.

Just throwing this out there.

If you're going to be tested for achohol then you probably shouldn't be drinking. Less worrying and no chance of failing.
