Question: What Is an ETG Alcohol Test?
Answer: The EtG test is a urine sample test that detects the presence of ethyl glucuronide when someone has consumed alcohol. The urine tests are usually given to people who have been court-ordered not to drink alcohol or by employers who randomly tests employees to determine if they have been drinking on the job.
The EtG test is sensitive to even very low levels of alcohol and can detect alcohol in a person's system several days after their last drink. The test is so sensitive, however, that it has been known to give positive results when someone has merely come in contact with alcohol through the use of common household products.
