Alcohol Screen Blood

Alcohol screen blood is a blood test that determines the level of alcohol in your blood. This test may be ordered in a workplace setting for new employees, for legal testing when driving or in a court of law, for medical testing to rule out alcohol poisoning, and to monitor individuals who are alcoholics.

No special preparations are essential prior to this test. It is a relatively safe test that involves a needle prick for a blood sample. The result is denoted as a percentage or a number. The test is accurate for a 6–12 hour period after your last drink. A positive result means that you have consumed alcohol, while a negative result means the absence of alcohol consumption within the detection window period.
