    Can I pass an EtG test after drinking 40 hours ago?
    I drank a couple beers on Friday night. Saturday, I drank Bacardi & Sloe Gin. I stopped drinking before 12 a.m on Saturday night. I had my EtG test on Monday around 3. I ate in the middle of drinking, and before I went to bed. A lot. Like in all 4 burritos, a pizza, and chips. I don't know if that helps though. I had my EtG test on Monday around 3. Do I have any chance of passing?

    There is always a chance with this test. How much did you drink on Saturday, also provide your gender and weight and about how long it took to drink the above amount. The two beers are no problem.

    On Saturday I shared a pint with my sister in the afternoon. At night I drank sloe gin I'm not sure what size it was but it was bigger than a pint it said 40 proof. Female. 150. I drank the pint taking shots with my sister in about 3 hours. The sloe gin was two or three.

    In order to determine EtG clearance I subtract alcohol metabolism time from time of last drink, based on a formula for estimated BAC. Absent that I just estimated your consumption on Saturday at 7 drinks.

    On average, that amount would require about 48-60 hours for elimination of EtG and indicate that you probably would not pass the test.

    EtG production and elimination varies from one individual to another. Even heavily intoxicated individuals sometimes eliminate in 20-30 hours... but that is unusual.

    Once again, based on average, you probably will not pass.

    (see Helander, 2008, close as I could come based on information)
