Hello Dr. Bill,

I recently had the equivalent of 12 standard drinks in about 3 hours on Friday night and Saturday morning. I am an alcoholic and I relapsed. I stopped drinking around 1 on Saturday morning.

If I have an ETG test around 6;30 PM today, Tuesday, what are my chances of passing. It will have been approximately 89 and a half hours since my last drink. I have drank water, taken detox supplements, and spent some time in the sauna. What are my chances of passing? I plan on diluting my urine as much as possible without making it obvious.

I am a fit 6 foot 192 pound male.

Thanks in advance...

EtG is usually cleared below that time range. It is very rare to test positive for EtG beyond 70-75 hours regardless of duration or amount of consumption*. Your consumption, 12 drinks, while beyond the norm isn't particularly high in relation to chronic alcoholics from which the 90-100 hour results obtain.

Have no idea if detox supplements might tend to reduce EtG, probably not. Leastwise beyond fluid content. EtG is certainly reduced and/or elimination accelerated via fluid intake... a known flaw in test.
