    Worry about ETG Test
    I am asking a question I know has been asked in many ways, Any help would be appreciated. I had 2 glasses of red wine between 8:30pm - 10pm Wednesday night and had to take an ETG Test 12 noon on Monday. Is there anyone that would know if I would pass? I am a struggling Alcoholic and continuing to try and remain Sober! I do regret having the 2 Glasses that I had! I have talked to Friends about this but I am still worried about the test. Any input would be helpful!

    You will likely be fine but be advised that the ETG can give frequent false positives and false negatives. Who/why are you required to take the test

    Not knowing what you call a glass of wine lets figure you had 4 glasses, about 20-24 oz at 12% EtOH. That would put elimination at about 40 hours and not more than 60.

    To Ballengerb1, Thanks, I am on probation and in a treatment center, the treatment center has to report to probation. I am so stupid for doing what I did and that is why I am worried. I am not making any excuses. I just feel that if I tell the truth to them I will get punished for having a sickness that I am trying to deal with. Thank you for your help! :)

    Thank You, I am on Probation and going to a treatment center that has to report to them and I am fearful of telling them because of fear of going to Jail. I am stupid for doing it and will keep working on not drinking! Thanks for your help!
