PEth

Published

I had a few glasses of wine 5 days ago and am selected for a PEth screening today. Any chance I will pass this?

I don't know.  If you can push off testing until later in the day that might help? Good luck.  Obviously no more alcohol until you are done.

Good. I really think it's likely it will be positive but there's always hope. I'd wait until as late in the day as possible to test just in case maybe 12 hours changes the result.

Always a chance but likelihood is very low

Did you get the result?

When was the last time and how much did you drink before that wine-drinking episode?  Like was it 4 weeks or over?   If so, then your "few" glasses of wine could be negative for peth after 5 days or even earlier.   Which leads to the next question: how many or how many oz. was the "few" glasses?  All the details and amounts matter for these tests.

That being said, this was on July 10th, so what was the result?  Your answer helps everyone here.

hello,

I drank 2 regular 8% beers and 1 5% beer 2 weeks back and also drink 3 24oz beers a week ago. Before that total abstinent for one month. I am giving peth test now after a week of my last drink. I am worried that I will fail the test. Although I finished the drinks very slowly over 5 hours and have a weight of 270 lbs with BMI 34. So my BAC might not exceed 0.05. Any comments? thank you
