    Dr. Bill, question about EtG
    Last Sunday, I drank a couple vodka and seven ups, and a maybe 6 beers, I have a test this Saturday at 9am. I am 37 year old male, 140 pounds. Will EtG be most likely eliminated? The last test was postponed.

    Even the exaggerated promotions of this test don't claim to detect above the 5 day range.

    Am I understanding that you drank before one test, that test was re-scheduled and you drank again?

    This test is notorious for false positives from incidental exposure. There are more reliable tests that can disprove that so long as you haven't actually been drinking in significant quantities. That recourse would not be available in your described circumstances.

    It might be wise to think through this risky behavior on your part.

    Nonetheless, the Sunday drinking is beyond the claimed range of the test.
