    You will fail. The EtG tests for a chemical byproduct left over when your body metabolizes alcohol, which remains in the body for a good 80 hours. It's not the same as, for example, measuring current blood alcohol content.

    Why on God's green earth would you have nine alcoholic drinks in one week, much less one day? Knowing you we're having an EtG?

    Please go to an AA meeting today. You have a problem way bigger than this one test.
