DrBill100: Will inhaling denatured alcohol fumes from aerosol hairspray affect EtG?
DrBill: I have an upcoming EtG test in 20 days. I have been completely sober for over two weeks in preparation for this drug/alcohol screen. I don't drink heavily anyway, nor do I smoke or participate in recreational drug use. However, I have read articles that insinuate that inhaling ethanol fumes from hairspray or hand sanitizer can produce a positive EtG result. I am a pretty avid user of aerosol hairsprays. I am smart enough to know to stay away from anything with ethanol in it for at least 80 hours prior to test, but I'll admit that I'm super paranoid. How likely is it that passive contact with these products could produce a positive EtG and, even if they ARE contacted, how long before a negative EtG is produced?
