If I drank a tall beer, jag bomb, and then a few beers and quite a few shots of jack daniels over a 9-10 hour period will I be able to pass my EtG test after 96 hours of not drinking? I am a 27 year old healthy female. I drank 2 gallons of water and ran on a treadmill between the time of my last drink and now.

With 96 hours between last drink and test time there should be no EtG in your system. It isn't possible to be certain with EtG but the test very seldom detects in that range, even without the water mentioned.

What is a "jag bomb?"

Thanks for the quick reply! A jag bomb is a shot of jagermeister with redbull. I've been really worried but passing this test.

I've been worried because I drank pretty heavily up until Sunday morning around 8 or 9 am.

I just have one more question for you if you don't mind, I've heard that if you have consumed a large amount of alcohol, they can detect it through EtG testing up to 96 hours. Is this true?

The studies that have found EtG at that time range have been testing in-patient diagnosed chronic alcoholics in a detox setting. Even then only a couple of patients tested positive above 78 hours and most were clear at 66 hours with some as short as 39 hours.

The information derived from this type of non-representative population cannot be reasonably generalized to broader healthy groups.

Is this true? To the best of my recall it has been true in 5 out of 180 cases in the setting and under the conditions as outlined above. Personally, I have yet to see a report of anyone testing positive at 80 hours and many had consumed far in excess of the amount you report.

As example:
Tested 84 hours from last drink, 22 light beers, 1 shot of vodka. M-27, 185 lbs, 5' 6” (500 cutoff) LINK >

Tested 61 hours from last drink, extremely heavy binge drinking on consecutive days, whiskey and beer. M 230 lbs, 6' LINK >

Tested 55 hours from last drink, 15 drinks (3 bottles of wine), F-44-150 LINK >

None of these represent the time needed for clearance. Only the time that elapsed from last drink until test.
