    Pass test for alcohol.
    I drank 5 and half beers that were 4.5 percent alcohol. Then drank a gallon of cranberry juice and probably close to 3 and half maybe more gallons of water. I was given a UA 38 hours after my last drink. I weigh 160 lbs. Will I pass my UA for alcohol?

    That is 5 standard drinks (US). If the assay is for alcohol (EtOH) you are definitely clean. If the test is for EtG it is a very close call. Please provide you gender, height and time of first and last drink.

    Male, 5'9'', First drink at 7:30pm, last (finished) at 11pm. No indication if it's a EtOH or a EtG.

    All I know is the UA was sent to lab to be further tested. And the results take a while to come back.

    If it is an EtG you are within an area of possible detection. To be safe would require about 48 hours. On the other hand you still have a good chance of passing especially if the cutoff is 500.

    All of the water that you consumed may very well influence the test. EtG is very sensitive to water which expedites clearance.

    What did you mean by 500?
