yes, all the alcohol will be out of your system. Also alcohol is measured by a breathalyzer not in the urine because it is cleared from the blood stream very rapidly and is not measured in the urine

Unfortunately, the prior physician's answer is incorrect. While alcohol itself is indeed tested by breathalyzer, alcohol metabolites can be tested in the urine as you stated (Ethyl Glucuronide). It can be detected 70-80 hours after ingestion. A more significant issue is obviously at play here: do you feel that you may have a problem with alcohol? That is a large dose for a female, quickly...
