Question 1

is it possible to fail etg test after 80 hours?

Accepted Answer

Yes: No test is 100% specific and sensitive. Though you would likely pass it if you haven't drank in &gt;80 hours positive EtG tests can result from the use of hand sanitizers, medications, hygiene products, cosmetics, foods and other products that contain even small levels of alcohol.

People can test positive for alcohol consumption after being exposed to laundry detergent, antiperspirant, aftershave ..

Question 2

will i pass a etg test after 80 hours? used to drink heavy quit wed @2 am. otherwise healthy take etg sat @ 10am. odds of failing?

Accepted Answer

No sure thing: It is absolutely possible that you will not pass (aka have a positive EtG) in that time-frame.

Question 3

does etg stay more than 80 hour in urine?

Accepted Answer

Usually not...: Studies have shown that etg will remain detectable in urine for 24-48 hours after moderate consumption and 48-72 hours after heavy drinking. See http://alcalc.Oxfordjournals.Org/content/42/4/317.Full studies have shown that contact with alcohol in mouthwash and hand sanitizers can give false positive results more than 80 hours after consuming alcohol.

Question 4

will i pass a etg test after not drinking for 80 hours?

Accepted Answer

EtG test: Probably not.  However, the test is highly unreliable and is associated with so many false positives from so many common household products that a positive test cannot be considered proof of ethanol consumption due only to "drinking."  imo, it should not be used to screen as proof of intentional alcohol consumption.

Question 5

it has been 80 hours after last drink. will i pass an etg test?

Accepted Answer

Individual variation: On average an etg test is positive up to about 80 hours after the last drink. However, this is an average figure and there are always individual variations.

Question 6

can you clarify why some people take longer to get alcohol out of system, such as etg test? why do some people test positive up to 80 hours?

Accepted Answer

Genetics: We all have differences from each other due to genetics, including gender and nutrition. The rates at which various chemicals, including alcohol, are metabolized, vary among people and explains how long after the last drink etg may be detectable.
Alcohol is a poison and you should abstain.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 7

if i had 10 drinks 61 hours ago will it show up in etg test ?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: The presence of ETG in urine indicates that alcohol was ingested within the previous 3 to 4 days, or approximately 72- 80 hours after ethanol is eliminated from the body. Take care.

will i pass an etg test in 72 hours?  i know the "research" says 80, i am 23 female 5'6 135 lbs moderate metabolism.  4 beers should be clear, right?
