Long Island ETG Calculator - Jason Bassett

From Law Offices of Jason Bassett, P.C. — Long Island ETG Calculator explores how EtG testing factors into alcohol-related criminal defense on Long Island. In this episode, we break down how the ETG Calculator works, what exactly ethyl glucuronide is, and how law enforcement and courts may use it alongside or in place of BAC tests. You’ll hear practical scenarios tied to real Long Island and Suffolk County cases, and insights into how Jason Bassett approaches defending clients in DWI or DUI matters.

We start by defining EtG (ethyl glucuronide) and contrast it with traditional blood alcohol content (BAC) measurements, discussing how EtG remains detectable in urine far longer than alcohol in blood. Then we dig into how variables like number of drinks, hours until test, weight, and gender can feed into the ETG Calculator to estimate test outcomes — what the “cutoff hour” means, and how a result above 500 ng/ml can put someone at high risk for failing. This segment helps demystify the science behind the test and the limits of its predictions.

Next, we turn to the legal stakes: how ETG testing is used in DWI defense, probation compliance, alcohol dependency programs, and even license reinstatement efforts in New York. We’ll explore how false positives — due to mouthwash, hand sanitizer, auto-brewery syndrome, or other substances — can be raised in defense. Jason shares stories from his work as a Suffolk County criminal defense attorney and how he crafts strategies to challenge or contextualize EtG evidence in court.

Finally, we close with listener Q&A and guidance: what to do if someone believes an ETG test is being used against them, how to choose representation in Long Island or Central Islip, New York, and when abstinence requirements or monitoring may come into play. If you’re interested in the intersection of science, law, and personal rights in alcohol-related cases, this episode is a must-listen.
