What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're needing to confirm recent alcohol use, whether for workplace compliance, legal requirements, or personal monitoring. It's especially useful when you need a quick, non-invasive way to detect alcohol consumption within the past day or so. Many people use this test for pre-employment screening, court-ordered monitoring, or to support personal accountability during recovery.

What's included in this test?

This test looks for alcohol metabolites in your oral fluid, with confirmation testing to make sure the results are accurate and not a false positive. Alcohol metabolites like EtG and EtS stick around in your body fluids longer than alcohol itself, which is why they're useful markers for detecting recent drinking, even after the alcohol has left your bloodstream. The confirmation step adds an extra layer of reliability so results can be trusted for formal purposes like employment or legal matters.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will appear in your account with clear explanations of what's considered a normal versus a positive range for each alcohol metabolite measured. If your result is positive, next steps usually involve avoiding alcohol going forward and, if this is part of a monitoring program, following the specific requirements set by that program. You can download a standard lab report directly from your account at any time. If you retest in the future, the trends feature lets you track your results over time in one place.

How can I naturally support healthy alcohol metabolism?

Staying well hydrated helps your body process and clear alcohol byproducts more efficiently. Eating a balanced diet with enough B vitamins and antioxidants supports liver function, which plays the biggest role in breaking down alcohol. Getting consistent sleep and spacing out or limiting alcohol intake are the most effective ways to reduce metabolite buildup in your system.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically available within about 7 days of your sample being collected. You'll get a notification once your results are ready to view in your account. Because this test includes a confirmation step for accuracy, it may take a bit longer than a simple screening-only test.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for anyone who needs documented proof of recent alcohol use or abstinence, such as people in workplace testing programs, legal or custody situations, or personal recovery monitoring. It's also useful for people who want a fast, less invasive alternative to blood or urine testing. If you need results that can hold up for formal or official purposes, the added confirmation step makes this a reliable choice.

What symptoms or situations indicate I may need this test?

You might consider this test if you've been asked to provide proof of sobriety for work, legal, or family court reasons. It's also relevant if you're monitoring your own drinking habits as part of a personal health or recovery goal. Situations involving recent alcohol-related incidents, like a workplace accident or safety concern, often call for this kind of testing too.

What does a positive result mean?

A positive result means alcohol metabolites were detected in your oral fluid, indicating you consumed alcohol recently, typically within the last 24 hours or so. Because oral fluid has a shorter detection window than urine, a positive result usually points to very recent drinking. If this result matters for a program or requirement you're part of, review the specific guidelines that apply to your situation.

How often should I retest?

Retesting frequency really depends on your personal situation, such as requirements from a monitoring program or your own goals around tracking alcohol use. Some people retest weekly or monthly, while others only test occasionally after a specific event. If you're using this test for ongoing accountability, testing on a consistent schedule makes results easier to compare over time.

What should I do if my results are unexpected?

If you get a result you weren't expecting, first check that you followed all pre-collection guidance correctly, since factors like mouthwash or recent food and drink can sometimes affect oral fluid samples. Consider retesting to confirm the result, especially since this test already includes a confirmation step for accuracy. Keep a record of your results over time using the trends feature so you can spot patterns and address them proactively.
