Best Answer

Ethyl gluconoride is a metabolite of ethanol. It stays in your body for several days after you last drank, so people like probation officers enjoy this test--if you were at a race on Sunday afternoon and you saw one of your clients drinking beers, you can pull him in on Tuesday, test him for EtG and throw him in jail for violating his probation. At least that's the theory. The problem with this test is it triggers on soap--if you wash your hands in a soap containing SD Alcohol 40, you will p*ss hot on the EtG test. I think EtG is a test that will eventually be removed from our battery of usable tests; it's so sensitive it's impossible to use it for what it's there for.

Does niacin pass an etg test in less then 24 hrs?

No. Not a bit. If you test less than 48 hours after drinking any amount of alcohol, you will test positive unless you are incredibly lucky. In fact 72 - 96 hours is better. EtG tests are nearly impossible to scam.

Does an 8 panel screen include Etg?

Yup. Just took my second probation UA and it says "8 Panel Drug Screen *Includes ETG*." My offense is not even alcohol related, but THC related, and they still added ETG onto my screen. My PO is definitely trying to bone me but luckily I'm not messing with anything until probation is over.. It's just not worth the anxiety of not knowing if you're gonna pass in my opinion..


Can etg tests test for cocaine?

This is going to be a weird answer. EtG tests will not test for cocaine. They only test for a metabolite of alcohol called ethyl gluconoride--and I think it's a mistake to test for this because any topical product containing "SD Alcohol 40" (SD means "specially denatured") like hand sanitizer will cause your body to produce EtG. The EtG test has caused many nurses to lose their jobs, which is strange because nurses use huge amounts of hand sanitizer. OTOH, anyone testing for EtG is also going to test for cocaine, so the answer is, "EtG tests won't detect cocaine but if you're using cocaine and get tested for EtG you'll still get busted for cocaine."


You drunk about 2 cups of moet rose on saturday130-200amand will be etg tested on monday morning what are the odds of you passing or failing this test or will it even be seen in your system?

You could pass the test, with luck, but the odds are against it. ETG testing does not test for alcohol. It test for an alcohol metabolite that is present in the body for about 80 hours after alcohol is ingested. It is not directly related to the amount of alcohol, which is why it is only used for compliance testing, not for blood alcohol level testing. Since ETG tests are compliance tests, ANY detectable amount is considered to be a fail.
