    ETG and ETS are different than BAC and have no clearance ratios between them. BAC disappears pretty fast, ETG 40-72 hours depending on the person. @ .34 BAC, you are seriously inebriated. I will assume you shouldn't be drinking and now have a test. Not worth the grief is it?

    IMPOSSIBLE to calculate... because its different for everyone...and LONGER for people that drink a lot... If you drink when you are prohibited.. then own up to the consequences of doing so.

    If you can't abstain for the length of time you are subject to being tested... then you have a drinking problem and should have signed up with AA who will work to help you stay sober.

    The only true test results that count are the ones you get from monitoring your own BAC levels. That would be specific to YOU as compared to the general population and has MANY other factors to consider beyond the ones common to humans.

    For example, being under the legal limit as done by a breathalyzer may not help you pass a urine test, a day or two later. Make sense?
