This study compared measurement of urinary ethyl glucuronide (EtG), a conjugated minor ethanol metabolite with a longer detection window than ethanol itself, with breath alcohol testing and self-report as ways to disclose recent drinking by 18 liver transplant candidates with an alcoholic liver dise
