Can diuretics wash out EtG in urine?

Diuretics can increase urine production and potentially dilute the concentration of ethanol metabolites like ethyl glucuronide (EtG) in urine. However, they do not eliminate EtG from the body; rather, they may lead to lower detectable levels in a urine sample due to dilution. It's important to note that this dilution might not be sufficient to completely "wash out" EtG, especially if the alcohol was consumed recently. Thus, while diuretics can affect EtG levels, they do not guarantee a negative test result.
