From what I have heard. No they do not.
An ETG alcohol test can detect if someone has consumed alcohol even after there is no more ethanol left in their system. If the ETG is present in the test then that means alcohol was ingested at some point.
Law enforcement agencies and court systems are major users of EtG urine testing.
No. It works in theory, but for such a short time that you'd have to be drinking it in the waiting room. EtG tests are extremely sensitive.
You could pass the test, with luck, but the odds are against it. ETG testing does not test for alcohol. It test for an alcohol metabolite that is present in the body for about 80 hours after alcohol is ingested. It is not directly related to the amount of alcohol, which is why it is only used for compliance testing, not for blood alcohol level testing. Since ETG tests are compliance tests, ANY detectable amount is considered to be a fail.
Etg (Ethyl Glucuronide) is the metabolite tested for, in identifying the presence of alcohol in a sample. It is highly unlikely a 10 panel drug test that it would be testing for etg.
Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is a direct metabolite of ethanol alcohol. The presence of EtG in the urine can be used to detect recent alcohol consumption, even after the ethanol alcohol is no longer measurable. The presence of EtG in the urine demonstrates that ethanol alcohol was ingested within the past three or four days, or roughly 80 hours after the ethanol alcohol has been metabolized by the body. As a result, it can be determined that a urine alcohol test employing EtG is a more accurate indicator of the recent consumption of alcohol as opposed to simply measuring for the existence of ethanol alcohol.

Incidental alcohol exposure (alcohol in hand sanitizer, alcohol in mouthwash, alcohol in medicines, etc.) can cause a false positive result for drinking alcohol.
Most are. There is considerable disagreement about ETG testing. Many experts feel that it is too sensitive to be routinely used for compliance testing.
Yes. The alcohol metabolite tested for in an EtG test is only present if alcohol has been present.
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.
Ethyl glucuronide or ETG is a direct metabolite of ethanol. Its presence in urine is a definitive indicator that alcohol was consumed.
