hello dr. bill-

I have read some of your posts and value your clear expertise.

I am a 58 yr old woman, 150 lbs, relatively high metabolism?

I have drunk very little alcohol over last year.

I drank a fifth of rum over a 17 hour period, combined with sleep; the bulk of drinking occurring between 5-11pm on Friday night.

my last drink was noon on sat.

I had a urine drug test at 4:00pm on Thursday. I imagine it was etg; do not know cut off limit (probation).

that puts me at 124 hours after last drink. However my consumption was high.

do you think I will pass the test?

the literature is variable.

additionallly, does computing for time of EtG to metabolize start from last introduction of alcohol into the system or when bac is zero?

thank you,

EtG isn't a metabolite that can be precisely timed as there is no way of predicting amount created by any given individual.

What is clear from the literature is that detection has never occurred beyond 102 hours and seldom detectable above 70 hours.
