Brief Answer:
Within the next 5 days,hopefully,will be free...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It will depend on your metabolism rate: the higher the rate, the shorter the time to get alcohol out of your system.

The minimum period of detecting alcohol when using ETG test is claimed to be up to 80 hours (5 days).

Hopefully, if:
- you do not drink alcohol
- your metabolism rate is high

then, after 5 days, hopefully, your system will be free of alcohol, ready to pass ETG test.

I want to add one last thing:

You should not stop drinking alcohol to pass ETG test only. That is for your own good and for the goodness of all the people around out and other co-drivers.

All the best! Wish you past the test!
