The EtG Hair Alcohol Test provides a long-term detection window of up to 90 days for alcohol consumption. Unlike breath or urine tests, this screening does not measure current impairment or intoxication. Instead, it identifies the alcohol metabolite Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG), which is incorporated into hair as it grows.
