ETHANOL

The ethanol test measures the level of ethanol, commonly known as alcohol, in the blood, breath, urine, or saliva. This test is used to assess alcohol consumption, diagnose alcohol intoxication, and monitor alcohol use. Elevated ethanol levels indicate recent alcohol intake and can affect a person’s ability to perform tasks such as driving. The test is valuable for legal and medical purposes, helping healthcare providers and authorities assess alcohol-related impairment and ensure public safety. It also aids in diagnosing alcohol poisoning and guiding treatment for alcohol dependency.
