    Pass an EtG test
    I have an EtG test Monday, I drank Thursday night until approximately 2am (long island, rum & coke maybe more). That night I drank around 5 glasses of water before bed. Friday Saturday and Sunday I've been working out, staying very hydrated and have my drug test around 7:30pm on Monday. Should I be able to pass if it is an EtG test? I also had drank quite a bit Tuesday night would that affect it at all?

    EtG is created in proportion to the amount of alcohol consumed. Need to know how much, number of drinks, on the occasions you mention above.

    Tuesday night I had at most 10 shots throughout the time span but consumed water while drinking. Wednesday I didn't drink and Thursday just the rum and coke and long island until 2am. Around 3 or 4 I consumed around 4 glasses of water and since then have drank water, cranberry juice and went on a slight jog yesterday. Sorry if any of that's confusing. I've counted my time span for when I haven't drank at all and its around 67 hours I just don't know when to start counting Thursday night/Friday morning being technical. Friday night I didn't drink at all.

    I am a female, weighing around 120lbs 5'5" very fast metabolism as well. Just some background info. I have drank Tuesday nights and taken my test the following Monday and have passed with no worried.

    On Thursday you had 2 drinks?

    On Tuesday before, 10 shots? [note that you have previously drank on Tues and passed the following Monday] Understandable. Beyond the (even exaggerated) limits of the tests.

    Your "fast metabolism" does not equate to accelerated metabolism of alcohol (EtOH). EtOH metabolism, particularly in females, is related to a specific array of enzymes present in the liver. These enzymes are genetically determined and rate limit EtOH metabolism.

    Given that you have previously passed EtG testing at similar time intervals (Tues to Mon) I would expect you will have similar results this time. 2 drinks on Thurs should not alter the results.

    One item will. You are pushing the limits! EtG is a highly unreliable, erratic and unpredictable test. Even incidental exposure and endogenous (internal) agents, particularly in females, can influence the test.

    Based on the amounts consumed, time interval involved, you should pass this test.

    It is tremendous benefit to others if you would report your results. Thanks
