    68 hours EtG
    Hello. I work on a construction site, and my boss popped a drug test on us this morning. I noticed the EtG letters on the form, so I researched it and it brought me here. I see this test goes back up to 80 hours, but some people don't seem to think this. Here's my case: I am a small guy, 5'4", around 130 lbs. On Friday, my day off, I drank about 4 beers from 10-5, then some shots, about 4 and maybe 3 more beers. I fell asleep around 9:30. So around 7 beers and 4 shots over 10 hours. I have to take the test by 6 pm tonight. This puts me around 68 hours from last drink. Does anyone think I stand a chance of passing? If not, probably suspension, or worse, lose my job.

    I should also say that I over the weekend I did not drink, but I consumed about 100 oz. of water, probable 40 oz. of juice, and about 70 oz. of coffee ( I love my coffee ). Thanks in advance

    Is it a condition of your employment that you stay completely sober ?
    If not then you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

    Not a condition, they are just looking for drugs. Alcohol has always been okay. That is why after researching EtG I was confused, but I guess this is a new testing lab. Is it my time window that makes you think I'm OK?

    As long as sobriety is not a condition of your employment then a different view will be taken on the results.
    You may well show as positive, but it depends on the limits that they are looking for.
