    EtG after 2 days of drinking- Please Help
    Hello Everyone!

    Looks like most of the EtG Questions on here deal with "Hey I drank XX drinks, and I have to test XX hours later? Will I pass?" My question is a slightly unique perspective. I could really use some help, my life is depending on this...

    I am a 30 y/o, 165 lbs male.

    On Friday with dinner I drank 2 pints of 5.2% lager, and around 28 oz of wine over a perioid of around 5 hours. I am confident that my BAC never got above say 0.10, I was drinking while eating and felt pretty sober all night. I started at 7:00pm Friday and stopped around midnight. By my calculation, this puts me at approx 8 standard drinks.

    On Saturday, from 10-11:00 pm, I drank 1 glass (5 oz max) of wine over about a 1 hour period.

    I have to give an EtG Test Monday, approx 40 hours after my last single drink, and approx 64 hours after finishing the heavier drinking episode on Friday. After researching other EtG Questions, I am fairly confident that I would pass on Monday purely based on Friday's drinking consumption. Likewise, I am confident that a single drink would not show at 40 hours (1 drink = max 24 hours from DrBill)

    My question relates to how does Saturday's drinking affect the Monday test I have to do? I know that there was still a significant amount of EtG in my system on Saturday when I drank the single glass of wine, but I am not sure how much longer this puts the detection time. Thank you for any response...

    You will be very close. Much will depend on the cutoff used, your level of hydration, and if you voided an hour prior to providing the sample for testing.

    From all of the "real life" results that I have seen, I suspect that you will pass, but I would not be totally surprised if you do not.

    What does that mean? If he voided? Should he not have? How does that affect the outcome?

    I am not attempting to give info about how to pass the test, but if he voids an hour before the test, he will have only the latest urine in his system that his body produced. If that urine still contains ETG he will fail. If not, he will pass.
