    Will I pass an EtG test after 18 & 1/2 hours?
    Hi, I'm extremely worried and hope you respond soon. Im a 5'5 120lb male. I drank 4 bud lights starting at lunch from 1 to about 2:30pm... I have an EtG test level of 500. As soon as I found out I had the test I immediately picked up a weed eater for about an hour and a half(sweating a lot after 3 bottles of water). Turned on the heater in the van for about 40mins sweated on the way to the shop.then I drank 3 more waters with dinner contantly urinating... still drinking water... do you think I will pass my test after acouple more waters tomorrow morning when I go to test a 9:30 am? Im very small and fit, with a very fast metabolism...

    With that amount of time you are likely to fail... I'll also guess that if you don't fail for the EtG part of it, you will fail for dilution by all the water you are drinking to try and save yourself.

    Ok... well I sure hope not... do you know the weight, height EtG calculation? And I'm going to back off on my excessive water intake before the test... im eatting a second dinner, also do you know how much EtG will be produced in 4 beers along with the half life ratio?

    Dr Bill isn't here anymore and what can you really be helped with? What's done is done... there is no help at this point, all you can do is hope for the best because there is no magical solution.

    I want to be helped by knowing the calculations of the height, weight, sex of my and how the half lives are broken down... I guess you don't know =-( what I'm asking for...

    Ok, so I don't know the scientific values and formulas and such. What I do know is that EtG doesn't generally dissipate in a mere 18 hours.

    If you need formulas and such to make yourself feel better then go for it... I'm just telling you how it's probably going to go for you.

    The sweating would have been great without the water intake.

    Right now, there is a larger chance of failure, because of diluted sample,

    Within that time, they test should still show positive.

    At 18 hours it's highly unlikely you'll pass. Even at the bottom of the scale most experts give a limit of 60 hours, 80 hours is the norm. You're not even close to either.

    Due to the increased water intake you'll likely fail for dilution. A fail is a fail.

    Either way, I don't see you passing this. If you do, consider yourself lucky, you got a miracle.

    Good luck.

    I passed... great advice... NOT ;-)... Knowing the calculations would have made me feel absolutely wonderful putting in my weight, height, age, sex, water intake( EtG is water soluble along with food) and metabolism(because EtG is a metabolite)... something dr bill would have probably have known I'm very shocked I pass... and very thankfull of my body... muuuwahh I love you... lol

    We don't know the calculations. If you do, if there is some miraculous calculation where you enter your info and get an absolute answer, then why didn't you use this instead of asking on this site? Why not share this mathematical answer to ETG tests?

    We know what we've read, everything I've read on ETG testing states that 80 hours is the cutoff, some think it's closer to 5 days. We had an ETG expert on the site, and he left due to health issue (or so I was told). From what he posted before he left, even he couldn't have given you a definitive answer. I do agree that he would have been able to give you a better guess, but it would still have been a guess. Based on what you posted, I'd bet that his guess would have been the same as ours.

    Frankly, I'm shocked you passed too. It's very unexpected. Based on the research I've done, and the fact that you were trying to dilute by drinking excess water, you shouldn't have passed. It is a miracle, and no one could have predicted this outcome.

    Count yourself lucky, and hope that you're this lucky the next time, if there is a next time.

    Good luck, and congrats.

    So sorry my advice was incorrect... And I doubt Dr Bill would have told you that you were clear as 18 hours is usually not enough time. You got lucky, nothing more, nothing less.

    But... if you keep playing these games, your luck will run out.

    See you next time you're in a panic and needing to ask this same question.
