    I only know about Ethanol tests specific to urine, which most people don't care about because generally it's out of your system so fast. Usually when i drink i'm looking to get bombed though so i read up about it. There are essentially two big tests. The straight up ethanol urine test... best way i've found to calculate this is a simple formula, just pop it in a calculator. You kind of have to approximate your BAC http://www.bloodalcoholcalculator.org/ Then it's really easy take your BAC for example .20 and divide it by .015. There's a huge calculation for why this works, but not essential to know. And... You should be clean in 13.33 repeating hours. Obviously you can take stuff to speed it up, there's a ton of info on that here.
    The next test is a bit trickier. The ETG test. It doesn't actually look for ethanol but the metabolites that your body breaks alcohol into. For a regular ethanol test you're almost always clean within 2 days max. With the ETG it takes up to 5 days. It generally doesn't take this long though so don't stress. There's an awesome article on them on http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_there_..._ETG_alcohol_test_when_you_have_been_drinking

    By the way, i just took a lab grade test today, have to wait until monday to find out the results. I was clean for 60 hours and flushing my system. I think they really want to nail me though and i drank a ton before i stopped drinking. I'll let you know how it goes.

    when i was on probation as a rule of thumb, for every shot/beer i drank give it an hour or so to get out of your system. I could get smashed the night before and take a drug test the next day and pass. All i ever had to do was have at LEAST 12 hours from my last drink, and drink a good amount of water and make sure i sweated alot in my sleep (i sweat alot when i sleep anyway, but if i had drank a lot more than 12 shots i wud still wear a bunch of clothes just to make sure). At the same time though it depends on the individuals body/metabolism/how much or what you drank. Btw i did fail a drug test for ethanol on probation, i had about a fifth to myself over the course of 6 hours or so, but only had 9 hours between my last drink and the test.
    On the ETG test, if, and i mean IF they actually were to give you one, they are so sensitive to even household items that have alcohol in their ingredients that they arent even considered reliable, and are not particularly recognized by most as a legit test to see if someone has been drinking or not
