I am being testing for probation and have recently found that all of my tests have been negative, although I knew that I had been drinking. My most recent test came back positive and I had drank the day before. At first I thought they were not using ETG but something less conclusive. Today I am being tested and my last drink was about 44 hours ago. I had about 6-7 glasses of wine. My PO seems to think that I metabolize alcohol quickly since I have been negative in the past. (I was honest with her about my drinking). Is it possible that I may pass today? I just want to be prepared. P.S. I am looking into treatment for my problem, as I know that I need help. I am female, 5"4 107 lbs. I don't drink a lot of water, nor do I eat much, but I so take B complex twice a day, if this help. Thanks for your response.

On the occasions when you were negative after drinking about how much had you consumed and how long before the test?

EtG clearance after 6-7 drinks usually requires about 60-72 hours.

NOTICE: Any person or entity that is subjected to or relies on EtG testing should read this Advisory issued by the US Department of Health and Human Services, September 2006 and remains in effect as of date of this posting.

On one occasion I had my last drink at about 7pm on a Monday and tested on Wednesday at about 4PM. Maybe I was just lucky. Other times I know it was 3-4 days in between. But that one occasion I just don't know. Is there a thread on here that answers legal questions?
