    EtG Test
    Today I got drug tested. I drank a 40 oz of 5% abv on Sunday night (around 9pm) completing it in an hour. The test was wed. morning.

    Would I pass if it was an EtG test? Would I pass if it was a regular alcohol urine test?
    I am a 6ft, 190lb and good physical condition.

    At your size and weight 3.3 standard drinks would have been cleared from your system (urine) within 5 hours. That would not be a problem.

    With a clearance time of 58 hours you should also be clear of EtG based on that consumption. (range 22-42 hr)

    I really hope you are correct Dr. Bill. Other than the studies you sight, which I have read, do you remember any other similar personal stories from this site similar to mine?

    59 hours, heavier drinking > Link Similar time span, greater consumption

    42 hours, 4 beers > Link Similar consumption, lesser time span

    62 hours, 6+ > Link Similar time span, heavier consumption

    Sorry! One last question, do you think I'd get through 100 cutoff?

    Yes. If the EtG has been eliminated the sensitivity of the instrument is meaningless.

    I just found out I failed my test. I drank on a Thursday night and got tested the next Tuesday afternoon. I figured I had gone about 130 hours without consumption. The test said I had 1500 anagrams(I think this was the measurement) in my system.

    Do you have a copy of the printout from the lab?

    Regardless of the amount that you drank there is no record of anyone failing at that time span.

    1500 is a relatively low reading but probably not traceable to the drinking.

    Nanograms is the term
