If I had three beers on Friday, with my last beer at 8 pm, and if I take a regular urine test which they test for ethanol only not ETG on Monday by 4 pm, would I be okay? I was told that 1 drink whether beer, wine or shot takes 2 hours to get out of your bloodstream? Is that correct?

The 2 hour figure provides a safe estimate. Three beers on Friday will be long gone by Monday for any type of test performed.

OK so even if they do an ETG test and if my test is at 3 today and if I had 3 beers Friday with my last at 8 pm I should still be fine?

So how much water would one have to drink for the urine test to come back diluted? If I drank around 70 ounces of water from 9 to 3 pm and then took a urine test at 3 would that affect the test results? Would the color of the urine be an indicator? The more clear the more diluted?

You have me going in a circle here. EtG not EtG.

How much water you would have to drink is an unknown in relation to EtG elimination. But we can skip that anyway. 3 beers consumed on Friday evening will not be detectable on Monday morning regardless of the test utilized (EtOH or EtG)

It appears to me that you are bent on challenging the limits of this test. That is not advisable.

No no, I just worked out and drank a lot more water than usual and then I had someone tell me that too much water could dilute the test, I wasn't doing anything on purpose.

My comments, advice or direction are never accusatory nor judgemental. Only observational and advisory. In review, I see how how my statement may have been interpreted otherwise. My fault. I apologize.

Your purpose or intent is of no concern to me. My intent is to provide objective and empirically verifiable information.

If I have failed in any way to directly address your concern please let me know.

Its OK you have been extremely helpful!
