These web-based tools estimate the detection window for ethyl glucuronide, a metabolite of ethanol, in urine. The user typically inputs information such as the quantity and type of alcohol consumed, the individual’s weight and gender, and the timeframe of consumption. The result is an estimated timeframe within which EtG may be detectable in a urine sample.
Such estimations can be valuable for individuals who are subject to alcohol testing, providing them with a general understanding of potential detection periods. The availability of these resources provides easily accessible, though non-definitive, insights into the persistence of this alcohol biomarker in the body. The rise in their use reflects an increased awareness and concern regarding alcohol detection technologies.
