Why would I need this test?
The Basic Alcohol Urine Test (Ethyl) detects the presence of alcohol in the urine and is commonly used for: Pre-employment screenings for roles that require alcohol-free compliance. Random or routine workplace testing is part of a company’s alcohol and drug policy. Post-accident testing when alcohol use may be suspected as a contributing factor. Reasonable suspicion testing when an employee displays signs of impairment at work. Court-ordered or legal testing, such as probation, child custody disputes, or DUI monitoring. This test helps determine recent alcohol consumption and is an effective tool for monitoring compliance with alcohol-free policies.
How far back can this test detect alcohol use?
The Basic Alcohol Urine Test typically detects alcohol use within the past 6 to 12 hours, depending on the amount of alcohol consumed and the individual’s metabolism. It may not detect alcohol use beyond this time frame since alcohol leaves the urine relatively quickly.
Will over-the-counter products or medications affect the test results?
Yes, products containing alcohol can potentially influence the results of a basic alcohol urine test. These may include: Mouthwash, certain hygiene products, or hand sanitizers containing alcohol. Cough syrups and other medications with alcohol content. Foods and beverages with alcohol, such as sauces, desserts, or fermented products. To avoid a false positive, inform the testing administrator about any recent use of alcohol-containing products or medications.
How is the test conducted?
The Basic Alcohol Urine Test is simple and non-invasive: You will be asked to provide a urine sample in a sterile container, usually in a private restroom at the testing facility. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis to detect the presence of ethanol (ethyl alcohol). The collection process typically takes only a few minutes.
