    Confused on EtG answer I read
    Dr.bill you were saying in one of your answers one drnk is detectable for 25-30 hours if cutoff is 100ng.. so does that mean 10 beers could show up for 300 hours? Sorry sir for all the questions

    No it does not. One reason is that EtG is created and eliminated at a steady rate. It does not accumulate and wait for you to stop drinking. So after you took the last sip of drink number 1, within 20 minutes EtG from that drink was complete, peaked in about 2-5 hours and then began to decline. Each subsequent drink follows the same profile... an ongoing process. This follows the same elimination profile as alcohol (EtG is direct metabolite) but occurs at a slower rate offset by about 2-5 hours.

    You can stop all of the heroic efforts. There is zero chance of EtG being present at that time span regardless of amount consumed.
