I drank 400 ml of 100 proof whiskey on Friday evening before 9 pm now I need to take a EtG test today or tomorrow morning. Will I be clean?

You won't pass. The EtG tests for byproducts from metabolizing alcohol that last in your system longer than the alcohol itself. You would need at least another day or two to test clean

Unlikely that you'll pass based on what you drank, and the time frame involved.

I am taking a variety of vitamins and liver detoxifiers and also taking in a lot of water and cranberry juice. Will it make a difference if I wait until Tuesday

If you try to fool the test they will know. You'll fail either way.

I doubt that waiting until Tuesday will help much.

Are you on probation and not supposed to drink?

jordanmalibu12 · Apr 28, 2013, 02:25 PM

Just not supposed to I'm not on probation yet but had a minor slip up I'm unsure of how they would know the difference if my system is cleared out and just doing so by using natural vitamins

Your urine would be very dilute. They watch for that. Vitamins will not help.

Even if my urine is the right color... How would they know?

Vitamins would not change anything.

Remember, anything you consume will show on the test. If you drink a lot of water trying to detox your system, it will show. If the test comes back as diluted, the logical assumption is that you tried to fool the test, which means you had something to hide.

Failing for dilution is failing.

It won't be the right color and it will test dilute.

The same way they'd know if you drank alcohol. It's called science.

It's very easy to determine if someone has tried to dilute their urine. The color of your urine doesn't matter at all. They don't base their test on that. They will test, and if your urine is diluted, they'll know.

You'll need to provide a list of the meds given during your surgery, with verification that you received those meds.

I do have to ask, how are you going to go from knee surgery to a drug test on the same day?

I haven't decided yet but I don't want to go back to jail for 90 days so I'll have to figure that out.

So this is a court mandated thing?

Have you considered following the court order, and not drinking?

Do you have a drinking problem that you need help with?

Its court ordered yes and I haven't drank more than twice I got in the trouble and now both times have landed me in more trouble. As far as the drinking problem I'm not sure. Yes and no but its not uncontrollable anymore

These tests are very sensitive and these "vitamins" that people tout for this purpose are a scam. They can tell if you are trying to dilute your urine. The only thing that will resolve this is time. You drank a lot of very strong alcohol.

May we ask why you drank so much knowing you have to take this test? Do you need some help with drinking? Perhaps someone on the site could help you out with that. Maybe this test isn't the real issue. If it's a legal issue, getting yourself into treatment voluntarily before court will help you legally as well as in terms of managing the rest of your job better.
