    Passing EtG test after drinking
    I am 6'1", 200 lbs... I had 3 beers and one vodka shot within 3 hours Saturday afternoon and the last drink was at 2:30. I had to take an ETG test at 4:00 on Monday... Do you think I passed? I have not received the results yet.

    Pretty good chance that you will. Timed studies indicate an EtG clearance range of about 36-44 hours based on your size and weight. But EtG testing is too imprecise to predict that you will pass with any degree of confidence.

    I can tell you that you are playing it too close and that's not advisable with this test.

    I did eat quite a bit the next day, then I took a couple Azo pills Sunday as well, followed by cardio and over 4 liters of water all day Monday prior to the test... Does any of this increase my odds of passing?

    Food and any liquid accelerates clearance. Exercise is less effective.

    My EtG results came back as "diluted"... Is that a bad thing?
