    Has anyone failed the EtG test after 80 hrs
    I see a lot of questions about EtG but never any follow up. So, has anyone ever taken an EtG test and failed when they thought they were in the clear of the 80 hours. My last drink would be 96 hours prior to the test, but I have heard that they can detect up to 5 days??

    The "norm" is 80 hours, there are people of course who claim that they have never drank and still fail it due to use of various products. Merely Google false ETG testing and you will find all sorts of pages on it.
