Alcohol

What is the Alcohol (Ethanol) Screen Serum test? Alcohol blood testing detects evidence of alcohol use. It is also called ethanol or ethyl alcohol. Alcohol is an ingredient in drinks like beer, wine, and liquor that can cause intoxication, created during the fermentation of starches, yeast, and sugars. Alcohol blood testing is the most accurate method of measuring the amount of alcohol in the body. Alcohol can also be measured in samples of a person’s sweat, hair, urine, breath, and saliva. An alcohol blood test may be performed for various purposes, including workplace drug testing and determining if a driver is operating a vehicle while impaired.
