I drank 6- 12oz beers and 3 shots of whiskey 48 hours before a urine test.. I believe the cutoff for my test is 1000 ng/ml.. will I pass the test?

Need your age, gender height weight and the length of time you spent consuming the 9 drinks.

Who is doing test with 1000 cutoff?

I did more research and found on quest's site that the cutoff is 500ng/ml.. But I also saw on the sheet that gets sent over with my sample that the box was checked for ETHYL ALCOHOL,URINE,QUAL.. is that different from EtG test?

About 49 hours from last drink until test? That probably isn't enough time for EtG clearance from 9 drinks, but all of the literature is based on 100 ng cutoff.

While 1000 ng is an available cutoff and some agencies might use it I have no timing data at that level. It would certainly shorten the window of detection giving you a better chance at passing but by how much I can't say.

I have no idea what the effect of dexatrim is but liquid consumption certainly accelerates EtG clearance.

The dexatrime I figured would speed up my motabolism.. it has a lot of green tea extract in it too.. so for 500 ng/ml cutoff should I be good?

Ethyl Alcohol test is not for EtG. Was/is EtG shown on the form? Otherwise it is not an EtG test.

All labs use the same immunoassay for EtG and it includes 500 or 1000 cutoff.

Even at 500 you are in a very close range... could pass or fail.

If it's only for EtOH however, then you pass with no problem.

I didn't see it on there.. I just looked at the box that was check marked by the counsler which was ethy alcohol urine qual..
