    EtG ua test for alcohol
    had approx 14-15 beers Saturday from 400pm to approx 1130pm. Had EtG ua test on Monday @600pm,approx 42-43 hours lapse. Have a threshold of 500ng on test. Ate quit a bit on Sunday and drank a lot of fluids on Sunday and Monday including cranberry/pomaranite juce,cranberry/grape juice,coffee and pop. Also take supplements milk thistle.horny goat weed,panax ginseng,gingko biloma and a super bcomplex vitamin. What is my probability of passing or being within the 500ng on test for probation officer?

    To be honest... it would be a miracle to pass, that's a LOT of beer for anyone do drink in a single day, and less than two days before the test? And all that other stuff, HUGE waste of effort and money. They don't work. What happens in the very likely event you fail?

    Do you think I would be within the 500ng allowance range

    In 43 hours... your odds are very low with that much alcohol consumed. That's a LOT for your liver to metabolize. If I was one or two beers.. you might have had a fighting chance, 12-14. I think its very unlikely. Won't say impossible, just very unlikely.

    I don't think your chances are great at all, even with the liberal threshold. You sound like a binge drinker, and that's usually very detectable within 48 hours, even with the attempts to flush yourself out.

    Is this your first test? If not what have been your previous experiences with passing/failing? Was the test random, or known?

    About passing EtG test
    Drank about 12 beers on Saturday between 4:00pm and quite about 11:00pm. Had EtG test approximately 43 hours later at 6:00pm on Monday. In that time I drank cranberry pomagranite juice, cranberry grapee juice, almost gallon of coffee. Also took numerous 1000mg milk thistle,panax ginseng, gingko biloma, horny goat weed with maca and a super be complex vitamin. I am 57 years old. In good health and decent physical shape and my ua was a light to medium yellow. The varience is 500 ng here. Will it be considered diluted or do you think results will be within the 500ng varience? Have not drank for over 6 months prior.

    test was random. Had tests before and violated a year ago. Can prarole be revoked if came up as diluted?

    Please do not ask the same question in a new thread. If you have more information, need to clarify information already given, or have follow-up questions, please post them in this thread. Thank you.

    What happened to the other two to three beers? Were they 12 oz. beers or a different size? Did you drink any other alcoholic beverages, consume any foods with alcohol, or use any products containing alcohol?

    Are you already participating in any support groups such as AA? If so, you may think about contacting someone for emotional support and to keep you from binging again. If not, you might consider looking into going to a group.
