    How soon could I pass an EtG test after drinking five 4.2% beers?
    I am a girl who weighs approximately 130 lbs and am 5'4. This was over approximately 4 hours. If I were given a test at 100ng/ml (I'm not sure if this is the actual cut off but apparently it is the lowest) how soon could I pass it?

    Your consumption amounts to 4.2 standard drinks, assuming 12 oz beers. It should be EtG clear at about 48 hours. The slow pace of consumption also helps clearance.

    Awesome! Thank you so much. If I were to take it about 40 hrs. after would that be cutting it too close?

    Time is your best friend with this test. 40 hours is a questionable time span.

    Thank you. Do you happen to know the cut off the firstlab test? Would it make a difference if it were higher than 100 ng/ml?

    Say, for instance, that they tested at 500 ng/ml, what would the time look like then?

    The higher the cutoff the less likely detection. All labs offer at least 2 cutoffs being 100 and 500 most commonly.
