$99.00

This lab-based urine test detects ETG (Ethyl Glucuronide), a long-lasting metabolite of alcohol that can remain in the body for up to 80 hours after drinking. Because ETG stays detectable long after breath or blood alcohol levels return to zero, it is commonly used to verify abstinence or meet court-ordered testing requirements.

Common Reasons for ETG Testing

  • Court and probation monitoring

  • DUI and diversion programs

  • Zero-tolerance or abstinence-based programs

  • Custody cases and family court requirements

When to Choose a Different Alcohol Test

If you need same-day detection of current impairment, consider our Urine Alcohol (ETH) test, which measures recent alcohol use rather than long-term metabolites.

ETG Alcohol Test — Frequently Asked Questions

Will this test show if I drank last night?

Yes. ETG can remain detectable for up to 80 hours after drinking. Most people will test positive if they consumed alcohol within the last 1–3 days.


Does ETG show current impairment?

No. ETG only shows recent alcohol use, not whether someone is intoxicated.
If you need same-day impairment testing, choose our Urine Alcohol (ETH) test instead.


Can ETG detect small amounts of alcohol, like mouthwash or hand sanitizer?

ETG is highly sensitive and may detect alcohol from certain products.
To avoid accidental positives, we recommend avoiding mouthwash containing alcohol, heavy use of sanitizers, or products labeled “alcohol-based” before testing.


Is ETG accepted for court or probation?

Yes. ETG testing is widely accepted by courts, probation officers, DUI programs, and family services as part of abstinence or monitoring requirements.


How soon after drinking can ETG be detected?

ETG becomes detectable a few hours after drinking and remains measurable for up to 80 hours depending on hydration, metabolism, and test cutoff levels.
