Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is a metabolite which is formed
in the body by glucuronidation following ingestion of
ethanol, such as by drinking alcoholic beverages. It is
used as a biomarker to test for ethanol use in
situations where such use is prohibited, such as by the
military or in recovering alcoholic patients.[1][2] EtG
has several advantages for these applications due to
its specificity for ethanol, slow elimination in urine,
and detectability by drug testing of hair which allows
detection of ethanol use long after its shorter lasting
major metabolites such as acetaldehyde have been
eliminated from the body.[3][4] Also because EtG can be
detected in samples at very low levels, it can help to
distinguish between levels of ethanol produced through
drinking, from other forms of exposure such as
transdermal absorption through use of alcohol-based
hand washes.[5]
