Cetearyl alcohol and similar fatty alcohols found in lip balms do not produce significant amounts of ethanol, the type of alcohol measured in breath tests. These substances are not metabolized to produce alcohol in the body and are used primarily as emollients or stabilizers. Therefore, using lip balm containing cetearyl alcohol is unlikely to affect breathalyzer results or give a false blood alcohol reading.
