EtG Alcohol Test
The EtG Urine Alcohol Test, available at Health Street, is a highly sensitive method for detecting recent alcohol consumption. Unlike standard alcohol tests, which measure current intoxication, the EtG test identifies traces of Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG), a byproduct of alcohol, in urine for up to 80 hours. This makes it a reliable option for situations where monitoring sobriety is critical, such as alcohol treatment programs, workplace compliance, or legal requirements.
Employers and individuals can find a clinic location and register online for an EtG test. When the registered individual visits one of our certified collection sites, a urine sample will be collected under controlled conditions. The sample is then sent to our laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within 1 to 2 business days and can be accessed securely through our online portal. If ongoing, random alcohol testing is needed, call (888) 378-2499.

How can Health Street help with alcohol testing during divorce or child custody?
There are 6 factors to consider when crafting a drug or alcohol testing agreement during a divorce. Health Street can manage the random alcohol testing once the parties have come to an understanding about such matters as: frequency of testing, random vs. scheduled vs. post-custodial period, how the results are reported, and which party is responsible for payment.
Who should order an EtG Test?
EtG testing is appropriate in certain situations, such as: when a parent with a known alcohol problem has had custody of children for the weekend; when a recovering alcoholic has returned from rehab and needs to be tested on an ongoing basis; when a college student agrees with his or her parents to remain alcohol free and get tested randomly.
Can incidental exposure to alcohol affect EtG test results?
Yes, incidental exposure to products containing alcohol—such as mouthwash, hand sanitizers, or certain medications—can sometimes lead to detectable levels of EtG in urine. To minimize the risk of false positives, it’s advisable to avoid using such products before testing.
About Our EtG Alcohol Test
What Is an EtG Alcohol Test?
Ethyl glucuronide or EtG is a metabolite of alcohol. It becomes present in the urine a short while after a person begins to drink beer, wine, or liquor, and then lasts for approximately 70 to 80 hours. An EtG Urine Alcohol Test looks for this metabolite to indicate if a person has consumed alcohol over the past 3 days.
The Difference Between a Breath Alcohol Test and EtG Alcohol Test
While breath alcohol detects the level of alcohol that is currently in the blood, the EtG Urine Alcohol Test allows for a much further look back period. The actual levels of EtG are influenced by how far back during the window of detection that the person consumed the alcohol, and how much the person drank. However, the results of this test will not tell you exactly when a person consumed alcohol, or how much alcohol was consumed.
What factors can influence the accuracy of an EtG test?
Several factors can affect EtG test results, including the amount of alcohol consumed, individual metabolism rates, and the time elapsed since consumption. Additionally, improper storage of urine samples can lead to the breakdown of EtG, potentially causing false negatives. Proper sample handling and adherence to testing protocols are essential for accurate results.
