ETG Test Question?

Question

80 hours? Seriously.. I heard that it has many flaws within it. I am just curious because I'm on probation and the PO told me 80 hours and I about fell out of the chair. I thought you flushed it out of your system in like 24 hours. If there are any PO's out there or law enforcement that can show me literature of the 80 hours being a fact that would be great because I have yet to find anything on it. Thanks.

Answer 1

The EtG Urine Alcohol Test
With some urine alcohol tests, alcohol can be detected up to around 48 hours after a person has ingested alcohol. With the EtG Urine Alcohol Test, however the presence of EtG in the urine demonstrates that ethanol alcohol was ingested within the past 3 or 4 days, or roughly "80 hours" after the ethanol alcohol has been metabolized by the body. As a result, it can be determined that a urine alcohol test employing EtG is a more accurate indicator of the recent consumption of alcohol as opposed to simply measuring for the existence of ethanol alcohol (as is done many other urine alcohol tests).

Just realize that your PO has no reason to lie to you, it's not like if he meets his quota for sending probationers to jail this month, he gets a toaster or something. If you come up dirty, it's just more work for him.
The "flaws" in the system stem from the fact that these tests may be TOO sensitive, they may detect alcohol from things like mouthwash or some breath spray, etc.
