Can you clarify for me if consuming a significant amount of water has any impact on reducing the levels of Ethyl Glucuronide, also known as EtG, in the body? I'm interested in understanding the scientific basis behind this question, as EtG is commonly used as a biomarker for alcohol consumption. Is there any research or evidence to suggest that hydration levels can influence the presence or concentration of EtG in urine or blood tests? Additionally, what factors, if any, should be considered when interpreting EtG results in light of potential hydration influences?

To overcome this, EtG can be expressed as a ratio to creatinine, which acts as a marker for urine concentration.

The issue of EtG concentration in urine tests can be addressed by consuming large amounts of water, which leads to urinary dilution.

Nevertheless, this method has its limitations as it does not fully resolve the problem.

This ratio-based approach ensures accuracy in EtG detection, regardless of urine dilution.

Despite this advancement, Helander et al.13 have noted significant variations in detection times among individuals, even after accounting for urine dilution.
