    So... you are hoping to fail? Otherwise why were you drinking when you have random tests.

    I suggest seriously looking into AA or other programs to get help to get your drinking problem under control before it kills you or ruins what's left of your life.

    Why drink after 450 days of sobriety? And EIGHT beers?

    I wasn't born yesterday. 8 beers is clearly called binge drinking by anyone's standards. A non-alcoholic would have a hard time guzzling 8 beer in a day much less a night. In fact 8 beers in a night is a problem for ANYONE that does it.

    If you don't see how there is a problem with that...then you haven't faced your problems yet. And you can't fix your problems until you both recognize and admit you have them.

    Friends that hadn't seen in very long time stopped by my house. It might not of been 8 beers either could have been 6. Your replies have nothing to do with the question by the way

    You brought up the drinking details. There is no question.

    You could have drunk iced tea or Pepsi.

    Did you read the site rules? Apparently not. You aren't allowed to dictate who can answer or how. Those were the rules long before I joined the site. Sorry but once the question is asked, you are going to get answers....even if you don't like them.

    Every one you have gotten so far is perfectly valid.

    Tazzybee, no one can tell you with one hundred percent accuracy that you tested clean. We don't know if the 3.2 is the amount of alcohol content or the size of the beer. We don't know if you use anything that has alcohol in it that would affect the test. We don't know what the test was for-job, court, etc.? Different reasons for testing have different limits. We don't now what the cutoff for the test is. We don't know how healthy you liver is. All of these and more are factors in whether or not you pass.

    Most tests give a time range of up to 80 hours from last drink. Add up the hours.

    Frankly, that you are worrying about a test that you took days ago or longer makes me wonder what the stakes are.

    If you are a recovering alcoholic (saying that you are not a problem drinker now doesn't mean you haven't had issues in the past), make certain you take steps not to repeat the evening with friends. Take care of yourself so that you don't compound any mistakes.

    With the little information you provided I suggest while you hope for the best, you prepare for the worst.

    How many hours between when you stopped drinking and when you were tested? And do you know the cutoff for the test?

    Exactly 80 hrs. And to all you haters, who said I was in trouble? Ever think it was for work? I chose to not drink for other reasons. So do t just assume

    We wouldn't have to assume if you gave all the pertinent facts from the beginning.

    My best guess, for what it's worth, is that you will likely pass with that amount of time.
