Up to how long can alcohol be detected in urine from lab testing?

Answer 1

Alcohol (EtOh) can be detected up to 1- 1-1/2 days after consumption. EtG, a byproduct produced in our livers after alcohol is metabolized can be detected for up to 3-4 days after the last drink. If the test being administered is an EtG test, it generally goes like this: 1 standard drink (1 oz - 1.5 ounzes of ethanol) can be detected for about 24 hours, 2-3 drink for about 36 hours, 3-5 drink 2-3 days, and so on. The more you drink, the more EtG your body produces. Also.....know this.....EtG is wildly unreliable and will detect exposure to alcohol from many household and health care products. If you test positive on EtG, fight it.

Answer 2

Alcohol itself stays in the urine until the body has cleared it completely, usually between 24 and 36 hours for heavy drinkers -- less for less consumption.

However, some tests detect alcohol metabolites such as ETG, which can remain at detectable levels for up to five days.

Answer 3

The Alcohol only stays in your urine for 24hours then it will not be there for testing and will not show up in testing but less than 24hours then it's going to show up in the testing so wait 24hours before taking any tests cause it's going to show up if not over 24hours.(:

Answer 4

Only about... 7 years. You're screwed buddy.

Answer 5

About 80 hours. However, the EtG urine test frequently generates false positives after people use hand sanitizer, mouthwash, etc.

Answer 6

Three days (72 hours).
