Pass Etg In 30 Hours (Page 14)

I've been clean from alcohol for 30 hours. I've had a gallon of water yesterday and one before testing. I also drank a creatine mixture to raise my levels. Do you think I'd pass an EtG?

Very likely. ETG has a half life of about 3 hours. 1 drink usually equals about 5,000 etgs. 5,000 x 5 = 25,000; your etg count. 3 hours after the last ingested alcohol your body is done converting the alcohol into etg. So about 6 hours after your last shot your etg. is already at 12,500.

9 hours after: 6,250.

12 hours after: 3,125.

24 hours after: 194.

The cut off rate (meaning the amount of etg needed to legally be considered a positive) is sometimes set as high as 500. The labs that conduct the etg testing have said that with a cutoff that high the tests are a waste of time and money because the previous method (plain Ethel Alcohol test) could detect trace amounts of alcohol for 24 hours anyway. With the 500 etg cutoff your usually in the clear after 36 hours except for the most rare of cases. About half of all states that allow ETG testing as court evidence use 250 or 500 etg cut off. The other half allow any amount of etg to be considered a positive for consumption of alcohol. The cutoff reasoning is due to “false” (not really false, but a positive reading without the subject actually consuming an alcoholic beverage) positive readings resulting from the use of hand sanitizer, mouth wash, etc…

While there is no proven way to increase the half life of etg, there is some logic behind the idea that drinking excess amounts of water and caffeinated beverages can speed up its elimination due to ETG being water soluble and caffeine increasing the users metabolic activity.

Note: I am not a trained expert in this area but I have read up on it extensively and cross referenced my readings with real-world user data. 72 hrs is often said to be detection time but less than 5% of those tested who have consumed alcohol in the past 72 hrs are found to be positive. All of that 5% were overweight, heavy drinkers, who did not hydrate.

I drank nearly 6 beers and 6 shots of 40 proof rum ending Sunday night at around 11:45. I got called in for a U/A for tuesday which I took at around Tuesday afternoon. In the mean time I had consumed over a gallon of water Monday night including cranberry juice. I continued with about another gallon of water Tuesday morning with niacin, creatine, b12 and multivitamin. Is it possible to pass an ETG? Or actually get a dilute?

Drank four 4% beers Tuesday AM and tested 42 hours later. Flushed with water, took creatine and vitamins to replenish before i tested. Is there ANY chance I passed? The lab uses a 500ng cut off for etg.

Hello-

I drank a decent amount on Saturday (two mixed drinks. 5 beers. And a shot) my last drink was probably around 11 30 pm. I may get tested This upcoming Wednesday at 5 pm. I have been drinking water and going to the sauna. I am a 120 pound girl. Should I be ok?

Re: New User (# 272)

You’ll be more than fine. You’d be five drinking until Sunday evening. Anything over 55 hours is nothing to worry about. I was tested every Wednesday and drank from Thursday until Sunday night and NEVER had an issue. The 80 hour rule is complete exaggerated. I would worry 48 hours after the fact... but 55 hours to give yourself peace of mind!

Sharing my experience though it won't help with the 30 hours. I drank 4 beers and had been drinking consecutive days (but not a lot) and passed after 48 hours. I drank a ton of water in the 24 hours before testing but not overly active. This was a few months ago.
Recently I drank 9 beers then took 12 hours off then had 7 beers. 72 hours later had a surprise test no warning. I was moderately active but didn't drink more water than normal. My pee was very yellow. Still passed.
I didn't get a dui but have an assault charge that was dropped with alcohol involved so have this silly restriction. I got rebellious. Honestly drinking isn't worth the consequences I was sure a was going to get in trouble this last time. I can wait to drink for 3 more months.

I drank about 5 budlight beers and three shots of patron tequila Saturday night until 3 am. I had color called and tested for ETG today (Mon). I waited until 3:50 PM. I drank a liter of water yesterday and a gallon of water today, plus a red Bull, multi vitamin, 5 he energy drink and a detox drink this morning. I ate a good breakfast if peanut butter toast and an egg... Water and 2 cups of coffee up until 20 mins before test.. Red Bull and 5 he energy drink an hour n a half before test. I am on zero tolerance and worrying sick. What do you think will happen... I'm guessing about 30-36 hours of time with the above intake.

Found out my father passed away Monday and got obliterated drunk up until 3am. About 7 drinks. Woke up Tuesday around 12 and had 2 beers. Have to test today at 5:30pm.
It will be about 53 hrs since those drinks Tuesday. Have been drinking a lot of water and taking vitamins. Thoughts?

Hi!

I had a test last week that was diluted. I am only allowed two diluted tests. I guess I had just drank too much water- my urine was definitely clear. I’ve cut back on water this week in case I’m tested again and it’s definitely more of a yellow color- does that mean I should be good and it’s not diluted?

Just posting this to give folks in a similar situation to mine some peace of mind. I wish people would post more results. Anyways. I'm on probation and as a requirement I have to take monthly 8-panel/ETG tests (not random, as I am only tested at my appointments). I made a mistake and over-hydrated before my test last month and was randomly called in two weeks later to re-test. I was pretty stressed because I had drank 4 12. oz 4% abv beers the previous night (Tuesday) from 9p-12a. I had to test Thursday morning at 10a. Giving me probably about 30 hours with 0 BAC. All day Wednesday I just drank water all day to the point I was running to the bathroom pissing clear every 30 minutes. I took a few cranberry pills as well. I am not a particularly active person and did not do anything I wouldn't normally do other than drinking a larger amount of water than normal. I didn't drink much of anything the day of (so as to not be diluted again) and gave my second void of the day. I'm not sure of the cutoffs of my lab but I'm assuming it's a pretty sensitive test seeing as I had to sign an abstinence contract saying I wouldn't use things that might offset the test like hand sanitizer and mouthwash. Anyways, I passed. I'm a moderate to heavy drinker (I don't drink everyday but when I do I usually drink to get drunk. Whoops). Around 5'9" 150 pounds. Average to fast metabolism. And I'm a female in my early 20's.
