Urine test to detect recent alcohol exposure.
This urine test checks for recent exposure to alcohol. It measures the presence of Ethyl Glucuronide (ETG) and Ethyl Sulfate (ETS), metabolites of alcohol. A metabolite is a biomarker found in urine after the body processes alcohol. If the initial test is positive, a confirmation test is performed before the result is reported. Exposure to alcohol-containing products, such as hand sanitizer, may cause a false positive.
