Pass Etg In 30 Hours (Page 4) (Top voted first)
Updated
Trouble Says:
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?

It was an instant test for probation. I'm sure it would have come up diluted had it been sent to a lab. I understand this isn't a viable method for lab tests, but I was offering this information to try and give peace of mind to someone else who may be in a similar situation.

276 and 284 shouldn't have passed but if you did good for you! Definitely not the norm though. A good rule of thumb is 24 hours: 1-2 drinks. 36: 3-5 48: 6-8 wasted 60+. This is from the time of 0 back and add time if you are drinking several days consecutively.

I PASSED!! My court uses the 100ng test and I was below that level 65 hours after my BAC of .0 :)

Re: Matt (# 316)
I am sure by now you have found out you passed, assuming the cutoff is 500ng. I have been taking ETG's for a year now. Never once been tested on the weekend. I do not drink Sun-Thurs. I have passed the test (500 cutoff) numerous times in 42 hours and this is after drinking heavily, not just beer either. I do drink PLENTY of water up until a few hours before the test and urinate nonstop the night and morning before the test. Not sure is this is what does the trick or not, but I have not failed. All of my tests are sent out to a lab for those who will be wondering.

Ric,
Thanks for your update! I bet your fine. If In the past your PO contacts you right away with a positive? And now you haven't heard from them. Good luck with the rest of your program and try to abstain from alcohol! :)

Hi all,
I'm in recovery and honestly don't know if I am a true alcoholic or just had a really bad year after a traumatic incident that left me with PTSD and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Anyway, I'm in a sober living house and after 6 months sober I had 3 glasses of wine on Wednesday evening and 1 rum and coke on Thursday at 3pm. I had a surprise urine test (which I'm assuming is ETG) on Saturday at 2:45pm. I will find out tomorrow (Monday) if I failed because my counsellor will either call me or not. What do you think my odds are? I'm a 130lb, 30 year old woman!
Let me know and I promise I will update!

Re: Jon (# 102)
With 6 glasses I think you would at least need 48hrs to be below 500ng/ml. Most probation programs use the 500ng/ml to avoid false positive. The reality is if you have anything 500ng/ml and over it should be sent to them for confirmation. After the lab confirms a positive it is pretty much admissible in court. Hope this helps! Good luck. Also, as a good reference to what your levels might be, you can figure 5000-7000ng/ml per glass of wine peaking 9 hours after your BAC is 00, so estimating an etg peek of 42000 9hrs after 00 will reduce by half every 2-3hr...

Re: Oliver (# 123)
You should be fine after 24 hours with that amount of alcohol. When I was stressing over my test I googled etg accuracy and I got a link to tasc testing information and I think it said 1 beer will be out of your system in 16 hours.

You should wait until the last moment, Drink Water and max out on a Multivitamin. With any luck you will pass, but this is to close to call! Good Luck!!

With luck you will be clean. My experience was 4 beers and roughly 24 hrs and failed. 2 shots of Vodka is too close to call in that time frame. With luck, the water and vitamins helped with the EtG to leave your system just a little quicker. Your body may be slower or quicker in the way it metabolizes also! Please tell us how it worked out. Also, please be aware of dilution as sometimes the system will say 'failure' for that.

RNfellowaddict Says:
Very late, but for posterity...2 beers over two days are highly likely to be cleared by Tuesday. Etg is quite poor at detecting low dose alcohol (1-2 beers) beyond 24 hours. After 48 hours, detection of higher levels of alcohol drops off precipitously, barring liver impairment of some kind, e.g., help c, cirrhosis. Within 72 hours, only high dose drinking would be detected - even with a 100ng cutoff.

Re: Ric (# 209)
The system is bulls***. My P.O told me it's diluted when your creatine level is under 20. I had one that was 18.5 and she flipped.
