How long does alcohol show up on breathalizer?

Answer 1

Modern technology can detect whether or not a person has had any alcohol in the past 3 or 4 days. It is called the alcohol etg test, or the 80 hour alcohol test. You see even after ethanol is metabolized by the body, there is a leftover chemical, or metabolite, and it's this chemical that they test for, and that's how they can tell that you have ingested alcohol up to 3 or 4 days before the etg test. Just look it up on the internet under 80 hour alcohol test, or alcohol etg test. This is the most advanced test they have up to now, as far as the saliva test, I don't know.
