I'm wondering the same thing. i think that excuse ill not be believable, especially if your a x addict. but can they prove it? alcohol does raise your metabolites way more than the correct dose of NyQuil would. you would have to have drank a hole bottle. also my counselor said there's a problem if you are drinking that much NyQuil. but YES it can be detected but not an excuse if your trying to get out of a alcohol test. good luck to all of us in our journey of life.
Yes Nyquil contains about 10% alcohol.

I do not believe that it would. Why do you believe it would?
EtG or Ethyl Glucuronide is direct metabolite of ethanol (alcohol) , or your sample will be tested for alcohol . For more info (detection time, fail positive, etc ..) search for EtG test.
Nyquil, for your information, is 50 proof. It contains more alcohol than wine. An EtG test will detect alcohol from any source, including after shave. If you're being tested, stay away from all substances containing alcohol for 24 hours, and do not ingest anything containing alcohol for at least three days prior to the test.
The ETG test is the Ethyl Glucuronide test. It is used to test for alcohol in urine. When ETG is found in the urine, it indicates that alcohol was consumed recently.
Vicks Nyquil contains 25% alcohol (50 proof), so it wouldn't take very much at all to produce a measurable level. Even a teaspoonful would cause you to fail an ETG test taken the next day. Many other over-the-counter medicines contain very high levels of alcohol.
The Etg test is extremely sensitive to any presence of alcohol. For example, using alcohol-based hand sanitizer or mouthwash containing any alcohol will cause a person to fail the test days after contact with the alcohol.
No it absolutly will NOT affect a breath test, If you want to be sure for yourself you can buy Breathalyzer at Zellers and they are not that expensive. NyQuil absolutely won't make you fail a Breathalyzer.
Yes. Even using an alcohol based hand sanitizer, using mouthwash containing alcohol, or eating food cooked with alcohol can cause a positive etg test 48 hours later.
Anything that contains alcohol, even mouthwash, will affect an ETG test.
Motrin can return a false positive for marijuana. Nyquil, so far as I know, won't return a false positive and it's legal anyway so no worries.
