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

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.

Question 3

it has been 48 hours since my last drink..can i pass my etg test with the help of detox pills?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: Whether you pass your test or not depends on how much you had to drink and how quickly your body can process the alcohol.  The bigger question is if you are being tested why are you still drinking?  Are you in a program to help as you clearly have a problem?  If you pass this time, you are going to get caught, it always happens.  Go to AA, get some help, take it day by day.

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.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: An ETG test is positive for 80-120 hours after the last drink. Depending on the sensitivity or cut off values used in the interpretation, you are at risk for not passing the test.
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.

Question 8

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.

Question 9

need to know what to expect of an etg test 84 hours after heavy drinking, and 60 hours after additional 2 drinks the next day.

Accepted Answer

Likely will be +: with heavy drinking EtG's will be positive up to 4 days afterwards, and generally positive within 72-96 hours, particularly if you had additional alcohol.  I would worry more about your heavy drinking than the issue of getting caught.  If you are drinking heavily while in a position of requiring testing, you clearly have a problem Get help from an addiction treatment specialist. Start with PCP.

Accepted Answer

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