    Will I pass
    I am 5'5 and 120lbs female. I drank a pint and a half of whisky on Sunday. I started drinking around 6pm and stopped around 11:30pm. Today Wednesday. I have to have an EtG done tonight at 5:30pm. My BAC was .018 at 7:30am on Monday morning. I have been drinking water and taking milk thistle. Will I pass? Please please help.

    There is no easy answer to this. First of all, if you're taking a ETG/ETS test then you're under some sort of alcohol prohibition. The first question is why are you drinking when you shouldn't be? The second problem is that no two people's biology is exactly the same. Your neighbor could pass after 25 hours and your cousin would fail at 100. The test is rated to detect heavy drinking, and drinking almost a full bottle of liquor you qualify, 60-80 hours out. You will be at 66 hours. I would put you at about even odds if I had to bet.

    Don't drink too much water because then you'll fail for trying to dilute your sample. Good luck.

    The difference between 16oz and 24oz of a 40%ABV liquor will not make much of a difference no.

    I will say first, I hope you fail. You need to understand, that you are not suppose to be, doing this because of some court action, and your drinking, shows, either a serious addiction, or a disrespect for the legal system. (or both)

    For your answer, it is going to be close, but I think, you will pass
