    EtG is highly sensitive... too sensitive, often picking up incidental alcohol exposure.

    Nonetheless published research has established that detection falls within a wide range. 30-110 hours with an average of 66 hr.

    To overcome the problem of hypersensitivity the recommended test threshold is 500 ng/ml although EtG is currently unregulated.

    An October 2009 study lists the “Urinary detection times for EtG and EtS after different doses of alcohol” - Go to p. 59 of the study for this information at the link below. NOTE: Alcohol dose is based on Grams per Kilogram of body weight (g/kg) not BAC level. Of further note is the small number of test subjects in each study (see N in the Table) and the variance in the results.

    If you require clarification please post and I will get back to you.
