I know this is going to sound like a crazy question, but I have to ask to ease my mind. I am in a monitoring program that requires random urine drug screens to keep my professional license (accidental slip-up but another story entirely). Anyway, I have no problems with street drugs (or prescriptions for that matter) but get tested for standard tests along with EtG (alcohol metabolite that's detectable for up to 80 hours based on metabolism, amount consumed, etc.) I don't drink anymore because of it but was told to be careful with hand sanitizers because excessive inhalation of fumes could cause a false positive (not sure how true that is, though).
My question is this: if a vial is made with ethanol as an excipient, what are the chances it could show on an EtG? I'm guessing (by my math) that 1cc of something in ethanol is CONSIDERABLY less than I'd need to worry about (as there's about 30cc in one ounce -- 1.5 ounce being one shot of liquor).
I may be overthinking this but I want to put my nerves to rest before I start. They don't test for juice so I'm not worried about that. Can anyone help?
