  1. Non alcoholic beer

    Universe93B replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah, 0.2% wouldn't cause any noticeable change in urine etg unless you drank 30-40 of them. Look up alcohol content of fruits and you'll see these beers are nothing. Skipping NA beers may not...

  2. Non alcoholic beer

    Universe93B replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

    And chat AI is the entire truth? Heineken 0.0 and Bud 0.0 has the same amount of alcohol as a glass of OJ or banana. Don't tell others on here that NA beer causes positive tests - because it...

  3. Non alcoholic beer

    Universe93B replied to NurseGray's topic in Nurses Recovery

    NA beer is safe to drink. Safest to drink would be thinks like Heineken 0.0 or Bud 0.0. But I have drank athletic and others with 0.5% beers with no problems and they taste great. I have had...

  4. Checking test results?

    Universe93B replied to Healer555's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Kevin, was there supposed to be a message here? Your reply is

  5. Hair test for ETG (alcohol metabolite)

    Universe93B posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hair tests are being used more commonly (along with Peth). Does anyone have any real world data on how much alcohol it takes to test positive for etg? There's a wide range of studies saying moderate...

  6. Checking test results?

    Universe93B replied to Healer555's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No, that doesn't happen. And people can claim it, but it doesn't mean it's true. Those people drank alcohol and that's why the test was

  7. Checking test results?

    Universe93B replied to Healer555's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You are WAY too paranoid! You change up your gas station routine for tests? How on earth would gasoline vapors get into your bloodstream from just filling up your car? I've drank NA beers or...

  8. Checking test results?

    Universe93B replied to Healer555's topic in Nurses Recovery

    LOL, I know I know, we've had this conversation so many times but you're too nervous! I've had sushi drenched in soy sauce, a 0.5% beer and various Italian food the night before a urine ETG/ETS test...

  9. Checking test results?

    Universe93B replied to Healer555's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If I stopped drinking alcohol, I stopped checking. No need to care about that. I still drink NA beers, 0.5% beers, use hand sanitizer, eat whatever I want, use perfume/cologne and use alcohol...

  10. Self reporting? Please help

    Universe93B replied to Peach pit's topic in Nurses Recovery

    "more than 1" is how many drinks? If you drank 2, your ETG test would still be negative. Maybe even negative for

  11. Recovery trek

    Universe93B replied to Carrie Carney's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Unfortunately, it's all over the place. I know many times, you will hear that "if the test takes longer, it's most likely positive due to confirmation testing." That has been wrong. Recently,...

  12. 5 years and I'm done

    Universe93B replied to blackpear1981-MSN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks for the inspiring words and thanks for giving us all an update. Your line that we are not alone is the most important - there are those of us who are going through difficult times and we can...

  13. Option of taking Peth, hair or nails on initial

    Universe93B replied to PassportCruiser's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You colleague's other option is to use a No Lye Hair Relaxer on the hair before the hair ETG test. (This is ONLY if the Peth is not an option due to repeated user). Apply a No Lye Relaxer to...

  14. Option of taking Peth, hair or nails on initial

    Universe93B replied to PassportCruiser's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's difficult to say which test to do. Peth is VERY sensitive, but if you have 30 days, not that much chance it's above 20. It's gone through enough half lives. But the hair etg test is not...

  15. First Peth test after being placed on probation

    Universe93B replied to Jose Rogan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Bottom Line. You are fear-mongering and need to stop. If you do not DRINK alcohol, you will get through monitoring just fine. There is no such study about perfume and it causing urine ETG. It...

  16. First Peth test after being placed on probation

    Universe93B replied to Jose Rogan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't find any such study, confirming false positive urine etg after perfume use. I've seen some on hair etg, but that was people using products for 3 years and applied directly to hair....

  17. First Peth test after being placed on probation

    Universe93B replied to Jose Rogan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do you have a link to the perfume study? Because no, applying perfume or cologne to the skin does not cause your BAC to rise enough to produce ETG, not even for a sensitive urine test. And...

  18. First Peth test after being placed on probation

    Universe93B replied to Jose Rogan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good - and that's great. But my reply was not to you - it was to Rayce1919 - who mentioned hand sanitizer, soy sauce, perfume and mouthwash. That is fear mongering and needs to be called

  19. First Peth test after being placed on probation

    Universe93B replied to Jose Rogan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    1. Read post #9, by Rayce1919 - they mention soy sauce. Or you can just read the post I quoted. I am replying to other people that keep bringing up soy sauce - I didn't bring it up first. 2....

  20. Hair test for ETG (alcohol metabolite)

    Universe93B replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I did some research - the LOQ (level of quantification) of the Hair ETG test is 8. So monitoring programs would use 8 as a limit, not 5. Many of these studies you read online can use lower limits...

  21. First Peth test after being placed on probation

    Universe93B replied to Jose Rogan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is overdoing it - just don't DRINK alcohol. You can still use hand sanitizer, spray perfume, eat soy sauce, etc. I do all of those things and have had urine tests and peth tests the very next...

  22. Peth alcohol testing (whole blood and finger prick) Real-world examples here

    Universe93B posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wanted to post 2 real-world examples on here since there are so many posts asking about Peth testing and how long it takes to become negative and how many drinks. The 1st example is on the lighter...

  23. PETH testing for Affinity

    Universe93B replied to respiratory1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks for posting updates on tests or other things. We all need to do that more on here to help each other out and for people who use the search

  24. PETH testing for Affinity

    Universe93B replied to respiratory1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you have not drank for 4+ weeks prior to the >2oz birthday shot and it was 40%, then you are fine. The peth after 12 days is

  25. so many questions I don't know where to stop

    Universe93B replied to Pendy79's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Correct, an attorney who deals with board related issues for nurses, physicians, dentists etc can answer and whether this is possible or not worth the right. Hopefully, you can get a good...
