Will non alcoholic beer show up on an EtG test?
Certain non-alcoholic beers do contain a small amount of alcohol (up to 0.5\%) and a study where volunteers consumed 2.5 L of 0.5\% beer indicated that this could cause low positive EtG but not EtS results in a urine sample collected the following morning (Thierauf et al., 2010) .
How long does it take for non alcoholic beer to get out of your system?
In three of the volunteers, the EtG concentrations ranged from 0.30-0.87 mg/L, maximising 3-5 hours after the start of drinking but remaining above the drug testing program cut-off value for about 17 hours. EtS levels were lower but still detectable at 0.04-0.07 mg/L for approximately the same period.
Can I pass a EtG test in 12 hours?
As for heavy drinking, EtG testing can detect 84\% in a day and 79\% after five days. Another study found that EtG tests are always positive at the 100 ng/ml and 200 ng/ml cut offs within 12 hours.
Can you fail a drug test drinking non alcoholic beer?
Non-Alcoholic Beer and Wine: Although legally considered non-alcoholic, NA beers (e.g. O’Douls®, Sharps®) do contain a residual amount of alcohol that may result in a positive test result for alcohol, if consumed.
Can you dilute an EtG test?
Studies show that the intake of water prior to urine sampling results in a dramatic reduction in the EtG concentration, while expressing EtG as a ratio to creatinine is not affected by dilution.
Can you pass an EtG test after 1 beer?
One drink could produce a positive EtG test but it would most likely require a couple things to be happening. One, the drink would have to be relatively high in alcohol content. Two, you were getting tested the very next day, within 24 hours of having the drink.
How accurate is an ETG test for alcohol?

EtG (Ethyl Glucurinide) is what UA’s look for. This is a metabolite of ethanol, and will amount to somewhere between 0.01–0.1\% of the alcohol you consume. The stuff has a half-life in your system if about 2–3.5 hours, with a safe mean of about 3.
