I do not drink every day maybe once a weekend, and I know the 80h is in extreme cases. What exactly is a extreme case. I'm 21 healthy and active.

odinn7 · May 17, 2014, 08:52 PM

So you're not supposed to drink for some reason and you are looking for verification if you will be able to get away with drinking on the weekends?

twillis92 · May 17, 2014, 09:12 PM

No not at all I'm new to this test and since then stopped dribking, I need two negative as one of the requirements to get out of this class so I'm hoping my first test will be one of the two... sorry for the confusion I'm done with drinking I'm young and it has set me back aways

So you have a test coming up that you didn't know about but you are concerned about passing? You will probably be ok with that time frame. But keep this in mind...we get plenty of people that come here asking every couple of weeks if they will pass...all the while saying what a mistake they made and how they learned their lesson and won't keep drinking. If you're not supposed to drink and you get away with it once, you might start to feel like you can keep getting away with it but eventually, they will catch you.

I see what you mean but not with me I'm not in to drinking like that just didn't know the parameters of the class before going to my eval. Thanks though

If I could get a more of a elaborate. Answer that would be more reassuring than a "you'll probably be ok" and a huge rant. That would be nice no disrespect intnded

Sorry you think what I posted to you was a "huge rant". I don't know what kind of elaborate answer you are really expecting.

Perhaps if you took the time to write a more elaborate question in the first place... People don't randomly get tests sprung on them for no reason and no prior knowledge one might be coming. It just doesn't work that way. You are leaving key information out. And doing that makes you appear deceptive.

I will delete my profile sorry did not know I need to tell anyone my life story. I'm getting tested, I have a baseline test for probation can fail but rather pass from the start. I gave a time and that should be it I even asked what the definition of an extreme case was for 80 hours sorry for the inconvenience

Cat1864 · May 19, 2014, 05:07 AM

To answer an unasked question, you cannot delete your profile and we will not delete it.

You do not say how much you had to drink before you stopped. You also do not mention the use of any products containing alcohol such as hand sanitizers, floor strippers, hair products, etc. You do not mention any foods that may contain alcohol.

If you have not been drinking and have minimal contact with other forms of alcohol you should be okay. But we cannot give you a definite pass or fail. There are other variables we cannot predict.

You ask for a definition of 'extreme' cases. I have not found one. As I mentioned before, too many variables.

You can't change what you have already done. Do you have support from friends and family members who know you aren't supposed to drink? In other words, they aren't trying to undermine you staying away from beer, etc.? It is always easier to do what you know is correct if you have others helping you.

Good luck.

If you expect an accurate answer you HAVE to give the necessary information. We can't read minds. And we don't have crystal balls.

YOU can't delete your profile... if you read the terms of service... what gets posted stays posted... including accounts created.

A baseline test is WAY different than either a court ordered random test... or an employment pre-screening or employment random test. Different standards... different repercussions... basically night and day difference. Someone doesn't FAIL a baseline test.....you can however fail any test that follows and a failure then would be a violation of the terms of your probation.

Sorry if you don't like it but the terms of service and site rules are clear that you don't get to say who can answer or how... and if you expect anyone anywhere to give an answer that means anything... the proper information NEEDs to be given... you just what you feel like giving.

People that don't want to give the details... are being deceptive... people being decptive are obviously trying to hide the facts... without the facts... any answer will be essentially worthless. The quality of an answer is always based on the quality of the question asked and information provided in the first place.

twillis92 · May 20, 2014, 05:51 AM

I don't even know if this is a fair question to ask but I know when EtG detection time states 80hours a lot of it is marketing pitch but I've seen Dr.Bill say it may apply for extreme drinking episodes true or false? If so what are general guidelines by this term. Thanks

smoothy · May 20, 2014, 05:57 AM

You are on probation based off your other posts... You aren't supposed to be drinking AT ALL during the term of your probation.

What purpose would it serve unless you plan to break the terms of you probation?

twillis92 · May 20, 2014, 06:46 AM

I'm just seeing if I'll pass my baseline test its not a probation it's a class. I know you can't fail a baseline but I can pass and it can count as one of the 2 I need to pass general curiosity. You need to chill with assuming and preaching. Why do people get answers but I get this

Great way to win friends and respect when you get rude and cop an attitude like that. Acting like that doesn't earn my or anyone else's respect here or anywhere else.

Nothing makes it more clear you really do have a drinking problem... and you refuse to face it. The fact you are being so evasive with providing any information means you are hiding a lot. Particularly when you get snooty after its asked for.

If you do what you are required to do.. and not drink... you will pass your tests and you don't have to worry... its that simple. If you weren't a heavy drinker (by any non-alcoholis standards) then you wouldn't be sweating the baseline test either.

First step is admitting and facing the problem... you can't move forward until you do.

Your baseline test is going to show what its going to show... and what's in your system. If you simply don't drink until after your probation is over and you won't have a problem passing any of the other tests you will be given, what part of that is too difficult to understand.

odinn7 · May 20, 2014, 07:56 AM

It amuses me that I gave you your answer early on...the best answer you are going to get in your situation, but you are still looking for more. With this time frame, you are likely to show nothing in your system UNLESS you have been lying to us or you have been using some product that contains alcohol that you are unaware of. Asking different versions of the same question won't get you any better answers. There is NO WAY for anyone to know for sure what will or won't show up for you. Every person is different. Every situation is different. All you can be told is that, on average, with a time frame of what you mentioned in your first question, you are likely to show clean.
