Question 1

Yes - several days: High ketones can cause a false positive on an etg test.   Ketones stay in your urine for several days.

Question 2

what is etg test. and how long is alcohol detectable?

Accepted Answer

ETG Tests Alcohol: Some people claim that with this test it can be up to five to seven days. But, blood testing is even longer and hair testing is permanent until the hair is cut.  Drug monitoring tests are getting more efficient and successful in catching those using substances.

Question 3

can you clarify why some people take longer to get alcohol out of system, such as etg test? why do some people test positive up to 80 hours?

Accepted Answer

Genetics: We all have differences from each other due to genetics, including gender and nutrition. The rates at which various chemicals, including alcohol, are metabolized, vary among people and explains how long after the last drink etg may be detectable.
Alcohol is a poison and you should abstain.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 4

what is an etg test?

Accepted Answer

ETG: Ethyl Glucuronide test confirms presence of alcohol in urine samples, since that compound is the direct metabolite of Ethanol.

Question 5

how do i pass an etg test?

Accepted Answer

See below: Don't use products containing alcohol for for to five days prior to test.

Question 6

what is an etg test used for?

Accepted Answer

Detect alcohol use: Ethyl glucuronide and ethyl sulfate are metabolites of alcohol that can persist for several days rather than only several hours, as the actual blood alcohol concentration (BAC) does. It can detect drinking in as much as a 72 hour window. So, an individual who is not supposed to be drinking may have zero BAC, but an EtG of several hundred to several thousand if they drank the day before.

Question 7

will kimchi affect an etg test?

Accepted Answer

Not that I know of: I am not aware of any versions of kimchi that would contain active amounts of ethanol.  Ethyl glucuronide is highly specific for ethanol, and unless your version is being made with cooking wine or some other form of beverage alcohol, I would not expect EtG to be positive.

Question 8

is it possible to pass a etg test?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Abstain from alcohol. No way to fool the test.

Question 9

when does someone need an etg test?

Accepted Answer

ETG: Ethyl Glucuronide test confirms presence of alcohol in urine samples, since that compound is the direct metabolite of Ethanol.

Question 10

can you pass an etg test overnight?

Accepted Answer

Need clarification: Etg is a test for ethyl glucuronide. It is a metabolite of ethanol (the alcohol in our liquors, beer, wine, etc). It can remain in your body up to 80 hours after drinking alcohol. Samhsa (substance abuse & mental health services administration) a govt entity, doesnt recommend this test be used for legal reasons because simple using hand sanitizer can make you test positive.
