As stated above, would I pass a ETG test 44 hours after having one cider (5% alcohol, 16 ozs)? I am active, 34 years old, male, 6 foot, 200 pounds.

You should pass.

[Makena]

Thank you Talaniman. I will post my results.

I am far less certain about you passing. ETG boasts an 80 hour window.

Ballengerb,

Everything I have read online says that '80 hours' is the extreme edge of the detectable range. Scientific studies have shown that there has been no recorded data of a fail from one drink past 24 hours.

Typically, EtG and EtS are detectable in urine for ≤24 h after intake of ≤0.25 g/kg ethanol, and for ≤48 h after intake of ≤0.50 g/kg ethanol (Dahl et al., 2002; Helander and Beck, 2005; Wojcik and Hawthorne, 2007; Hoiseth et al., 2007a, 2008; Halter et al., 2008). Also consumption of very small ethanol doses (≤10 g) is detectable for many hours afterwards (Stephanson et al., 2002; Helander and Beck, 2005; Wurst et al., 2006) and even unintentional intake from the use of ethanol-based mouthwash (Costantino et al., 2006) and hand sanitizers (Rohrig et al., 2006) could yield a positive urinary EtG and EtS, if applying a very low analytical cut-off limit. In blood, the corresponding detection times are considerably shorter (e.g. ≤14 h at 0.5 g/kg) (Schmitt et al., 1997; Hoiseth et al., 2007a; Halter et al., 2008).

Assuming that prior to the single use, your consumption was not measurable, I agree with talaniman that you should pass, given the amount and the time frame.

I am am unclear as to why you asked the question if you have the answer.

Well, for some strange reason there is very little on the internet regarding these tests. And some of the data is older. So I guess I am just curious on others weighing in on the discussion.
