View Full Version : How do I know if I'm taking an ETG test?

This may be a stupid question but I'm really not sure what kind of urinalysis test I am taking.
I don't want to pose questions to my P.O, as I think it may look a little suspicious.
So I was wondering whether someone who has experience could inform me what the EtG test looks like, or any others.

Thanks!

There is no way of determining what the urine sample might be tested for.

If total abstinence from alcohol is a provision of your probation then it is safe to assume the test is for EtG.

I had to take an ETG test on July 10 (two weeks ago), which had been ironically 80 hours after drinking 12 beers.

Even though I've read countless entries of people passing under 80 hours,
However, I'm still a little on edge being that I haven't heard anything about the results.
My question is does your probation officer only give you the results if you fail (obviously), or if you pass as well?

I have had no other experience with taking an ETG test,
So if someone can give sound advice that would be great!
Thank you.
