What this test screens for
Understanding the ETG Alcohol (80-hour)
The ETG (ethyl glucuronide) urine alcohol test detects alcohol use over the prior 80 hours — far longer than a breath alcohol test (which only detects current intoxication). ETG is a metabolite the body produces when alcohol is consumed, and it remains detectable in urine even after the alcohol itself has been metabolized.
At our Chantilly lab, the ETG alcohol test is $89 and uses a urine sample. It is commonly used for court-ordered abstinence monitoring, probation programs, treatment programs, and pre-employment screening where alcohol use must be documented over a multi-day window.
For longer abstinence monitoring — 2 to 4 weeks rather than 80 hours — the PEth (phosphatidylethanol) blood test is the alternative. PEth detects a different alcohol-specific marker that remains in red blood cells far longer than ETG. Both are commonly used in court and treatment settings; the right choice depends on your program’s requirements.
Why people get this test
- Court-ordered abstinence monitoring (DUI, family court, probation)
- Treatment program intake or compliance checks
- Custody cases where alcohol abstinence is required
- Pre-employment screening for safety-critical roles where alcohol use must be documented
- Personal or family monitoring of alcohol abstinence
What to expect
From check-in to results — what your visit looks like
Most visits take under 15 minutes. Here’s the full arc, start to finish.
How to prepare
No fasting required. Drink water normally so you can produce an adequate urine sample. Avoid alcohol-containing products beyond drinks — some mouthwashes, hand sanitizers, and over-the-counter cold medications contain alcohol and can occasionally trigger low-level positives at very high exposure. Mention any such exposure at check-in.
During your visit
Photo ID and any chain-of-custody form are verified at check-in. You provide a urine sample in a private restroom following standard collection procedures. The sample is sealed and signed off in front of you, then packaged for shipment to the certified reference lab.
Getting your results
Results typically post to your secure online portal in 24 to 72 hours. The report indicates ETG level (negative, low positive, or positive) along with the lab’s cutoff. Results can be faxed directly to courts, probation officers, attorneys, or treatment programs at no additional charge.

FAQ
ETG Alcohol Test (80-hour) — what people ask
Specific questions about the etg alcohol test (80-hour). For anything not covered, call 571-500-7030.
How long does ETG detect alcohol use?
Approximately 80 hours (about 3 days) after the last drink, depending on amount consumed, body composition, and hydration. Detection windows are general guidance; your specific result depends on individual physiology.
Can hand sanitizer or mouthwash cause a false positive?
Heavy exposure to alcohol-containing personal-care products can occasionally produce low-level positives — but typically only at extremely high exposure levels. Reputable labs set cutoffs that distinguish typical incidental exposure from actual alcohol consumption. Mention any unusual exposure at check-in.
Should I order ETG or PEth for longer abstinence monitoring?
ETG covers approximately 80 hours. PEth (a phosphatidylethanol blood test) covers approximately 2 to 4 weeks. Choose ETG for short-term monitoring or weekly compliance checks; choose PEth when your program requires a longer look-back. Some programs require both at different cadences.
