Accepted Answer

Depends on the: sensitivity of the test. You will have ETG in your urine. Whether it is called positive or negative depends on the quantitative target set by the testing method.

Question 2

will two sips of beer show up on etg test?

Accepted Answer

No: If you are being monitored for alcohol long-term, then alcohol must have been a major enemy for you in the past? Why go back even for a sip? Yuck. You deserve better. Best wishes.

Question 3

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?

Accepted Answer

Cant say for sure: 80 hrs is a maximal estimate based on highest usages.  More moderate usages are negative well before then

Question 4

if i had 2 beers will it show up on a etg 60 hours later?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol gone in 12hr: For most people their bodies will break down alcohol at a rate of going from legally intoxicated to no alcohol in the blood withing 12 hours. Find out more here- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3484320/

Question 5

i drank 10 beers and will be having a etg test about 55 hrs after last test. will i pass?

Accepted Answer

Chance of failing: because EtG is stable in urine for more than 72-96 hours. Regardless, drinking too much beer can lead to health problems such as cirrhosis of the liver, cardiovascular disease, alcoholism, and obesity.

Question 6

i drank 8  beers in 4 hours and 30 hours later had an etg test. chance i can pass? 130lb female

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 7

i had 2 beers friday night around 1 am not sure how many oz i have an etg test in the morning do i have chances of passing?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: If you are being tested for EtG, I assume that it means there has been some form of alcohol/other drug problem in your life, or you are in a safety-sensitive position where alcohol is not allowed. In any case 2 beers will give you a positive EtG for up to 48 hours, depending on where their cut-off is (typically 50 ng/ml but some think it should be 250ng/ml or even 500 ng/ml). Get help w stopping.

Question 8

i take etg tests up to 80 hrs and am wondering if i can drink a few non alcoholic beers. heineken 0.0. will i pass my test if i have a few?

Accepted Answer

: Do not take chances. What do you expect to get from so called non-alcoholic beer? How sure are you about the alcohol content of the beer?
Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it.

Question 9

i took an alcohol etg 500 cutoff test. i drank on a tuesday at 10pm, one beer with 5percent alcohol. test was given on friday at 2:30pm. could i pass?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Egt testing can detect alcohol 3-5 days after ingestion. Detection varies depending on your weight, hydration, and metabolism. If you need to abstain and cannot, seek professional help.

Question 10

i had two tall boy high gravity beers on saturday night, then went in for an etg on tuesday afternoon at about 5 pm. my urine was heavily diluted. ok?

Accepted Answer

Is what ok?: I will document a dilute urine as a "refusal to submit to test".  If that's ok, than its ok.  Btw-  etg results are usually given corrected for any apparent dilution.
