What does it measure?

The Alcohol (Ethanol) Screen Serum test: Analyzes the amount of alcohol, biomarkers, or metabolites in a person’s blood or serum. The serum in the blood is separated and remains after the blood clots. The alcohol metabolites are the substances that are created as the liver breaks down and the body gets rid of itself of the alcohol, while an alcohol biomarker is a substance that is only present in the following alcohol consumption. The consumed alcohol stays in a person's body until it is broken down, primarily by the liver. When the person drinks faster than their liver can break down alcohol, their BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) increases.While measuring the person’s BAC can show the amount of alcohol they have consumed recently, alcohol metabolites can be measured to measure chronic alcohol use or relapse after a period of sobriety.Alcohol can be detected in the blood within the minutes of a person’s first drink. The time frame in which the alcohol use can be detected in the blood, called its detection window, depends on several factors, including the type of test conducted.
