I was just awarded DUI diversion yesterday. Because I was not on diversion last Saturday I had about 5 beers between 7:00-11:00pm. I didn't know that one of the terms ifof diversion was that I not drink, although I am fine with that. Have had nothing to drink since Saturday. Yesterday when I was issued the diversion, my PO have me instructions for a urine test. She did not mention what kind of test it was. I assume it's the EtG one that I've read about on here. I went and had the test done today at about 4:00 Wednesday so it has been about 88 hours since I last drank anything. Ate and drank normally this week. I am freaking out about the results as I'm guessing they'll revoke the diversion. I will not be drinking as I will not be able to stand the stress of worrying about random tests. Do you think I'll be all right?

You should pass the test. It may ease your mind to read Dr. Bill's answers to similar questions regarding EtG.

This... he has not posted recently but everything is backed by numerous studies he cites and links in his posts. Going into a diverson program I'm surprised that the judge or your attorney did not make it clear about substance abuse. It really irrates me that ETG testing is used on people that are not properly informed about what it is and what can trigger a positive result. My treatment program did not. I was guilty... but that's beside the point that I should have been informed of things to avoid. And there are a lot.

You will be fine after 88+ hours. Please see this site for a list of products to avoid: Important Facts about EtG and ETS Testing - Ethylglucuronide (EtG) and Ethylsulfate (EtS)
