About test
What does ALCOHOL measure?
The alcohol test measures the presence and level of ethanol (alcohol) in the body. It may be used to assess recent alcohol exposure or intoxication in clinical, emergency, legal, or occupational settings. Healthcare professionals may also order it when alcohol use could be contributing to symptoms such as altered behaviour, confusion, reduced alertness, or impaired coordination. Results should be interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other relevant findings.
