I did moderate to heavy drinking (4-15 drinks/day) the week before my ETG test. My last night of drinking was Saturday where I had about 15 drinks. My last drink was at about 2 AM. I am 42, about 6', 250 pounds, don't exercise, but not in horrible shape. My test is about 108 hours from my last drink. Think I'll pass?
Thank you!

Seriously you really need professional help in this matter, not only for probation, but your own health..

Yes you will pass. As the person above said that amount of drinking is a huge problem. If you are drinking that much and subject to ETG testing it's a matter of time until they nail you for it.

Thanks for the input. I'm curious, are you saying I'll get "nailed" from a scientific perspective, or are you assuming I'll slip up and get busted at some point? Do you have a medical background in this area? Thanks, again.

Im speaking from personal experience. If you drink that much and are subject to ETG testing you are in the same position I was in. You have a problem and continue to put yourself at risk. What are the consequences if you fail? They aren't testing you for giggles so there's obviously something on the line if you fail.Yet you continue. That's called alcoholism. Yes it's a matter of time until you fail a test or worse things happen. Do I have a medical background? Nope... I have 5 years in various treatment programs... 5 trips to the hospital for pancreatitus... a father that was shot dead by my mother in a suicidal drunken rage. Some may need a school to tell them about addiction. Some live it everyday. Take what I say or leave it. Doesent really matter to me.
