    Worried about an EtG test please help
    So Friday night I drank maybe an 8 - 12 oz glass of 12% red wine from 8pm_12am. I have been sober for 15 months and had it with dinner. I got a surprise EtG test today and took it this morning. I am freaking out. Did I fail?

    Its going to be close... that "glass" of wine ( wine is rarely ever served in glasses that big, that's like 2 or 3 wine glasses of wine usually 4 oz per serving) is the same as having 3-4 regular beers.

    You might pass or you might fail.....I think the odds are more tilted towards a fail, but thats only a guess.

    The ETG test can usually detect consumption from about 60-80 hours before the test is taken. You're skating on the 55hr line. With the amount you said you drank you probably have good odds of passing but I wouldn't be surprised if you failed. You said that you were 15 months sober and than has between 2-3 glasses to drink. What caused you to fall off the wagon? Especially after 15 months? What happens if the test comes back positive?

    No one can predict your result. Here a couple of links regarding that amount of intake.

    Well I thought I'd be okay no consequences and I regret it after discussing it with my girlfriend I can say that 8 to 12 oz was a very over exaggerated number. I took a few sips here and the of her glass totally mayyybbeee 4 oz and consequences are dire

    If you did not drink anymore than 4-8oz total, you should definitely pass.

    It was definitely close to 4 oz and no where's near 8 oz I was over exaggerating. I never drank a glass and just took a few sips off my girlfriends in the course of 3 or 4 hours and ate dinner and ice cream with it

    It's been 5 days since the test was taken with no word I assume I passed. Never taking that chance again. I'm glad my slip didn't have any consequences. But certainly not worth the stress
