    Your Help is Requested
    I am a 6'6, ~190 lb male who exercises regularly.

    Last night, I had 2 small glasses of red wine that were maybe 3-5 ounces each, and just a taste of tequila (just enough to have a taste, nowhere near an ounce). This was my first time consuming alcohol in over 4 months. I had the first glass of wine at around 8:30 pm last night, and had the last drop of alcohol around 11 pm or so.

    Based on this information, what are the chances that I pass an EtG urine test today if I take the test at 6:30 pm? Given I have been drinking water steadily.

    Also, what are the chances/detection times for this amount of alcohol in regards to me passing an EtG tomorrow or Monday?

    Thank you in advance.

    Given you have been drinking water steady, you may well fail for a diluted sample, alerting them that you are hiding a problem that they may think more serious.

    Was it almost a ounce or was it a taste ? Big difference of wetting your tongue and taking a drink.

    The issue will be what is their acceptable cut off point, there is a chance of failure. But if all your story is near the correct amounts the chance of passing is high.

    I wlil address the addiction issue. After 4 months you know this is how it starts back. One slip, and you pass the test, then you will do a larger amount 3 days before, and so on. After 4 months, now you start at day one again,

    So, 19 1/2 hours after consuming two (small) glasses of wine & a sip of tequila... I would be highly concerned about passing an EtG test less than 20 hours later. 5 oz. is actually considered a "normal" serving size of wine in most cases (or 14 grams of "pure" alcohol). Two 3 oz. glasses vs. two 5 oz. glasses is a large difference in this case, especially when adding the sip of hard alcohol.

    Add another 24 hours (Sunday night) and your chances of passing would increase significantly and another 24 hours (Monday night), I imagine would put you "in the clear" from a testing standpoint.
