Dr Bill, I am subject to ETG testing and I slipped under per r pressure. I have a client who wanted to mert for drinks and I had one glass of red wine that contained 14.5 % alcohol. I found out today that I have to test. My first time to have back to back testing since I have been in the program. I have approximately 21-22 hours. I have consumed 10 bottles of water and two cokes from last night through today. Also took Pamabrom. I stopped the water consumption because of the diluting. I am 34 yrs, 115 lbs, 5'2. I believe the cutoff is 500ng. Do I have a chance of passing. There are severe consequenses and I will have to start over. I would greatly appreciate your opinion.

Had a surprise ETG test 22 hours after having one glass of red wine with 14.5% alcohol. I found out the restaurant serves between 5-6 ounces per glass. I calculated the exta alcohol and possibly the extra serving and came out with 1.6 drinks. I am 5'2, 115, 34 yrs old. The court uses 500ng for sanctions, but accuse you if it is over 100ng in hopes that you confess. I have court every third Friday and didn't get called in last week. Not sure if I am safe yet or not. Very stressed.

Also, I wanted to add that I consumed a gallon of water between that evening and the next day, but wasn't dilute.

I am not in program for alcohol, it is for another reason. I haven't had a problem with the other, but I find it especially difficult in work situations to obstain from one drink.

Update. I passed in 22 hours after consuming 6 ounces of wine containing 14.5% alcohol at 500ng cutoff. Very relieved. Not sure what the EtG reading was, but they usually accuse you of drinking at low levels hoping that you will admit.

Thank you for posting your results!
