    Over what time span did you drink the 6 beers from start to finish. What was the brand and was it 12 oz units.

    The Saturday drinking is not a factor.

    It was on Tuesday from 6 PM to 10:30 PM to be safe. 12 oz Blue Moons. Utah beer so 3.2%

    That is 5 standard drinks (US) and based on your size .77 g/kg.

    Using a cutoff of 100 ng/mL the clearance time for EtG ranges from 27 - 44 hours (2 studies both use 100). At 36 hours you are right in the middle.

    If the cutoff used for screening is 500 then it is unlikely that EtG would be detected. But you never know with the non-regulated tests. There are no requirements or standard practices.

    Please let us know the results.

    Reference studies:
    Halter, et al 2008
    Wojcik & Hawthorne 2007

    Well the place that does the testing is closed today so it will probably be tomorrow. I should be good then right? Thanks for your help.

    None of the research show detection above 48 hours.
