Blood, breath, urine, and/or saliva samples may be tested. Blood ethanol testing may also be ordered to confirm breath testing or as an alternative to breath testing. Urine testing may also be done as an alternative method. Saliva alcohol testing is not widely used.
2. Does everyone have same rates of alcohol metabolism?
Alcohol metabolism rate depends on race, sex, body weight, certain drugs and food consumption etc.
