Hello j:
No, but if they're watching and you fill up the cup from your little bottle, it's not going to work.

EtG tests detect only ethyl glucuronide.

DrBill,
It's a drug test that checks for all sorts of drugs including alcohol for probation. So is it possible that they can detect gender? I heard its expensive?

I'm sure the test cannot distinguish. Each panel (category) is specific for a drug or identifying metabolite and that is accomplished by an antibody-antigen reaction. This system does not support gender determination.
I am agonizingly aware of this because I'm currently trying to find a method to determine positive findings by gender.
