Question 2

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 3

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 4

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 5

will two sips of beer show up on etg test?

Accepted Answer

No: If you are being monitored for alcohol long-term, then alcohol must have been a major enemy for you in the past? Why go back even for a sip? Yuck. You deserve better. Best wishes.

Question 6

how is an etg test related to blood testing?

Accepted Answer

Don't understand ?: "Blood testing" is a nonspecific term. Thousands of different determinations can be made on blood samples, from complete blood counts to blood sugars, electrolytes, liver function tests, kidney tests and many many others. Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is usually tested in urine but can be tested in blood, and is a long-acting metabolite of alcohol that can determine drinking over days rather than hours.

Question 7

help please? what is a etg test to do with blood testing?

Accepted Answer

It's usually a urine: Test, and am not aware of people testing for it in blood, although i guess one could.  Ethyl glucuronide (etg) and ethyl sulfide are substances produced by the metabolism of alcohol that, unlike the parent substance which is only present for hours, can persist for days, depending on how much one drank.  It is very sensitive and can pick up alcohol present in mouthwashes and hand sanitizer vapor.

Question 8

can using products with grain alcohol test positive with etg test?

Accepted Answer

No: Etg is ethyl glocuronide. Grain alcohol is methyl alcohol. Please note that you should not be using methyl alcohol without proper protections as it has serious toxic effects.

Question 9

can high ketones make you fail a etg test? how long do "ketones" stay in your system?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 10

it has been 48 hours since my last drink..can i pass my etg test with the help of detox pills?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: Whether you pass your test or not depends on how much you had to drink and how quickly your body can process the alcohol.  The bigger question is if you are being tested why are you still drinking?  Are you in a program to help as you clearly have a problem?  If you pass this time, you are going to get caught, it always happens.  Go to AA, get some help, take it day by day.
