About the Test

This urine test checks for recent exposure to alcohol. If your specimen initially tests positive, it will be confirmed before the result is reported.

This test may be right for you if you are trying to find out if you were exposed to alcohol.

Drug testing detects the presence of specific drugs and/or drug metabolites in a urine sample to determine drug exposure. This test looks for the following:

Alcohol
Ethyl Glucuronide (ETG) and Ethyl Sulfate (ETS), metabolites of alcohol. A metabolite is a biomarker that is in the urine after a drug is processed by the body.

Note: Exposure to alcohol-containing products, including heavy use of hand sanitizer, could result in a positive result.

You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase a test on questhealth.com. Purchases not permitted in: AK, AZ, HI.

Please be sure to drink plenty of fluids before your urine sample collection. Fasting is not required for this test.

After you provide your specimen, it generally takes a few business days to process and release your test results. However, processing times may vary. Your test results will be available in a clear and easy-to-read report. If your results differ from expected ranges, you may receive an alert call from an independent healthcare coordinator. Independent physicians are available to discuss questions or concerns you may have regarding your results.

If your test result is positive, the lab will perform an additional confirmation test on the sample you have already provided at no extra cost to you. This helps to validate the positive result before it is reported, per standard recommended guidelines.
