I have saliva drug and alcohol testing twice a week. They claim its ETG testing but I didn't think alcohol would show up in ETG testing for saliva. Can u tell me the window of time it would be detected?

Telling you that would be the same as telling you how much time can elapse between drinking and the test, so no, we won't do that.

Are you on probation and not supposed to drink?

I am in a program where I am ordered not to drink and I don't nor do I plan on it due to the consequences. I was just curious if the 80 hour window of detection that they claim is true with saliva or more of just hype to scare you. Just curious that's all??

If it's an ETG test, most experts agree it's 80 hours to be clean, some think it's more like 5 days (120 hours). So, if you're getting tested 2 times a week, it's never safe to go against the program and drink.
