Alochol Drug Tests

Alcohol is a depressant drug found in beer, wine and liquor. Alcohol, also known as Ethyl alcohol or ethanol, is consumed by drinking alcoholic beverages where it is filtered by the stomach and liver before entering the bloodstream. Despite its legal status, there are many health risks that are associated with the use of alcohol including high blood pressure, liver problems, peptic ulcers, and heart failure.

Commonly observed physical effects of alcohol consumption include slurred speech, loss of judgment, red face or eyes and impaired motor function.

Once alcohol enters the body, it is quickly metabolized and broken down by the liver before being expelled by the urinary system. Due to the speed that the drug is metabolized and eliminated from the body, alcohol drug testing must occur in timely matter.

Alcohol drug testing can be detect usage in most people 1 hour after use and will typically remain in the body for 8-24 hours.
