    I am confused. " havent drank in two weeks will i pass a etg test after 40hrs" Is it 40 hours since your last drink or two weeks? If its been 2 weeks yes, 40 hours will likely show positive. ETG also can show positive if you never took a drink in your life, its not reliable.

    You are in a gray zone. Some elimination tests indicate clearance under 40 hours (using a 100 ng cutoff) (Wojcik) while another indicates 40 hours exactly but indicates a return to 0. (Kuntz) Given the variability of individual metabolism this is too close to call but the averages are in your favor.

    The latter test involved females and 3 (6 oz) glasses of wine.

    NOTE: If the test cutoff is 500 ng, as now recommended, you should be in safe territory.
