    Can you pass EtG testing after 76 hours of no alcohol
    My last drink was Friday at 9pm and I was EtG tested Wednesday at 12:30pm. I am 5'6, 110 lbs. Do you think I will pass?

    We can only guess. You're right in the cusp, so there is a chance you'll fail. Having said that, we can't tell you for sure. In other words, you'll either pass (even though you did drink), or you'll fail (because you drank).

    What do you stand to lose if you fail?

    You could pass but what about next time and you don't have 76 hours?

    Please don't ask the same question twice.

    What I stand to lose is a private matter, and to the response about asking twice. This is my first time using this site and I am not that computer savvy. I was looking for an answer to my question, not to be asked questions or criticized for accidentally asking the question twice.

    Bottom line, we can't tell you for sure if you'll pass or fail. I've seen people that passed 18 hours after an all weekend drinking binge. I've seen people fail 5 days after having one drink. There's no way to tell each individual if they'll pass or fail with any certainty. We can only guess, and as I said, you're right on the cusp based on research.

    Having said that, since you won't tell us why you're being tested, I can only assume that it's not for a job, as that wouldn't be a private matter that you wouldn't want to divulge. In other words, you're likely on probation and not drinking is part of that probation.

    Since you did drink, and you knew you weren't supposed to, if you fail it's well deserved. It's not like you're innocent, right?

    So sit back, hope that you beat the system this time, and then learn from this and don't make the same mistake twice.

    Good luck.

    It has nothing to do with probation, but thank you for assuming. This site is not what I thought it to be, referring to the responses that I am getting. You don't know me personally, and I guess I opened up myself to these responses. That is why I Usually do not do this sort of thing. I will be unsubscribing because in my time of grief, I don't need responses even in the slightest bit of negative nature. Thank you for responses, and in the future, remember what you say can make a major impact on someone's life. Thank you.

    When you don't provide information, all we can do is assume. We don't have a crystal ball, we don't know what you're going through, grief, depression, job search, etc. etc. All we know is what you tell us, or don't want to tell us. We can only base our advice on the info provided, and you didn't provide a lot of info.

    Yes, we all realize that what we post can have a major impact on the people asking questions. We try our best to be accurate in our replies, but it doesn't only depend on us, it depends on you as well.

    Your question was:

    My last drink was Friday at 9pm and I was EtG tested Wednesday at 12:30pm. I am 5'6, 110 lbs. Do you think I will pass?
    That's it. No more info. Will you pass? You might. Can we say for certain that you will? No. No one can.

    Let me ask you a question, answer it based only on what I ask, not by reading any of my other posts. Pretend we've never talked/posted to each other.

    Q: I'm 44, I'm tired all the time, I have no appetite, I don't feel well. Do I have cancer?

    Not easy to answer based on what I posted, is it? Well that's your post in a nutshell.

    Can you pass EtG testing after 76 hours of no alcohol?
    and
    Do you think I will pass?
    are two totally different questions. Can you (or I) pass after 76 hours of no alcohol? Yes. We can also fail.

    As Alty has already mentioned, there are many variables. Some rather important ones are why you are being tested. Yes, that is your personal business, however, if you want an accurate assessment, it is kind of an important piece of information. Yes, it does change the result in most cases. What is the cutoff level for positive, if you don't care to share the reason for the testing?

    For example, being tested for a pre-employment test would have a different cutoff than, say, my court ordered testing, where I have been told not to consume any alcohol. It might also be different for CPS testing vs. Family Court ordered testing. I could pass one and fail for another, if that helps clarify.

    Is it just me or is the time frame you are referring 111 hours or so?
