In urine, ETG can be detected up to 80 hours as it is stored in the body for a longer period of time. This test will not detect current impairment but will detect that alcohol was consumed in the past 80 hours.

A metabolite of alcohol called ETG can show in hair after about 7 days and up to about 90 days. This test is used to determine if the individual has consumed alcohol in the past 90 days. It should not be used to detect a one-time consumption of alcohol but EtG hair tests are generally best used only to determine whether a person has used alcohol chronically over a period of time. 1.5 inches of head hair is required for this testing which will give the up to 90 day look back period. The 1.5-inch sample of about 200 strands of hair (about the size of a #2 pencil) closest to the scalp will give 100mg of hair, the ideal sample for screening and confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>The ETG test for hair should not be used for a workplace test unless the individual is in a zero-tolerance alcohol treatment program. ETG alcohol testing with hair is often used in legal and court cases as well as child custody cases to determine an individual is or is not consuming alcohol. Commonly called hair follicle testing, the hair testing for alcohol for drugs is not testing the hair follicle. The hair is cut at the scalp, as close as possible to the scalp to determine the most recent drug or alcohol use.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alcohol testing is available with urine, hair and breath alcohol.
