Hair Follicle ETG / ETS Alcohol Test: Specimen Type: Hair Follicle
When alcohol is consumed, your body processes it the same way it would a burger, fries and shake - it breaks it down. Part of the process of breaking down alcohol involves releasing something called the ETG metabolite into the body. ETG is a metabolite that travels through the bloodstream; it can be measured and detected in many of the same ways drug testing is performed. Not only does it show up in the urine, ETG also appears in hair.
This test is a very reliable way to determine if alcohol has been consumed; the process works much like a hair follicle test. We only need a pencil-sized hair sample to get started. The hair is processed by getting mixed with chemicals that will analyze the presence of the metabolite within the hair shaft.

What is a hair alcohol test?
A hair alcohol test is used to determine if alcohol has been consumed over a certain period of time. The test works by examining the ETG (Ethyl Glucuronide) markers in a hair strand and is one of the most accurate methods for testing alcohol consumption.
ETG is a direct marker of alcohol consumption and is only produced when consumed. It is absorbed into the hair by sweat and contamines the full length of the hair; this means it isn’t possible to divide the hair to avoid a positive test result.
An ETG test can display a change in the pattern of alcohol consumption and is the most reliable test when determining the levels of alcohol that have been consumed.
