Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is a metabolite of alcohol that can be detected in urine tests for an extended period (up to 80 hours) after alcohol consumption. Positive EtG test results indicate recent alcohol consumption, even if no alcohol is currently present in the individual's system. It is important to consider any potential sources of false positives or confounding factors, such as non-alcoholic substances containing ethanol.
